London Lion Scarf


Lion Scarf - small

Raising money for cancer research, the London stitch n' bitch knitting group knit giant scarves for the 4 lions at Trafalgar Square. Pretty cool, huh?



London certainly is a good place to be a knitter - perhaps because its so chilly or because pubs can be a great place to knit? There is a great Yahoo Group called Handknit UK and more than a few knitting groups. Since I've been here all I've been able to concentrate on is scarves and the occaisional baby sweater. Perhaps its time to get something a little more challenging going.

Remember the knitting in the dark pub headlamps? or what about the knitted Ferrari?
