Hull phone box dressed up in red woollen cosy for Comic Relief
SHOPPERS in the city centre may stumble across a bizarre sight today.
The cream KC phone box on Paragon Street has been dressed up red for Red Nose Day in a giant woollen cosy.

A telephone box has had a makeover for Red Nose Day, by local group Knitwits. Pictured are Liz Pacey, left, from the Knitwits and Philippa Norman from Comic Relief with the phone box in its cosy. Picture: Peter Harbour
Local group The Knitwits has been knitting the red cosy since before Christmas, even sneaking out under the cover of darkness, armed with measuring tapes and torches, to ensure it is a snug fit.
Liz Pacey, from The Knitwits, said: "I can't believe it is finally up. I was panicking it would be too big but it looks perfect."

Fifteen Knitwits got their knitting needles out to knit their bit of the cosy, with all the wool required donated by Yorkshire business A Woolly Tail.
Dressing up red is just one of the many ways people can do something funny for money this Red Nose Day, which is back on Friday March 15.

“Does look very snug, I can see more of the phone box than the red wool.”
