Knitted English garden

By at 9:28 am Thursday, Sep 21

A woman in Surrey has made an entire English garden out of knitted items, from carrots to snails to squirrels to a picnic lunch -- she solicited contributions from all over England:

The project has been painstakingly completed by more than 300 contributors, including a group of gay men knitting in Brighton, and a 12-year-old boy in Sussex, who spent six months making the pond and waterfall.

Ms Bolsover, 46, of Dorking, Surrey, estimates her team made 4million individual stitches, knitting together 80km (50 miles) of wool.
