Crafting creativity, Unveiling the world's largest knitting needles

When I was growing up I always had a drive to be creative and design and make

and I think that was from mum constantly encouraging us with the leftover loo roll

tubes and washing up bottles to create and build. Because when you're when you're faced with building something that big there's

also got to be usable. There's a few design thoughts had to be in there

like practicalities, weight, strength. I did quite a lot of research how big is

the biggest wooden post I can buy? How heavy would it be? Way heavier than I'd ever

be able to pick up by myself so I scrapped that idea and kept right

rethinking, redrawing, redesigning. The shape of a knitting needle is not complex. When I unveiled the needles I think I was quite pleased to see a lot

of people they stopped and they looked which is well for a positive reason is a

nice thing it's nice to see people actually take a second out their day to

go what's going on over there and then people started coming over and asking

and talking and smiling and laughing and they were all very positive reactions

I don't consider myself that special I just like doing things and the fact that

you know it's recognized to be the biggest in the world is nice it's really nice

Everyone's got potential we've got the choice of do we push ourselves to reach the top of that

or not there's nothing nothing can stop anyone I don't think. Give it a go what's the worst that

can happen? You end up stuck with two very big sticks
