Hi all, Knowing that there are some keen Knitters on the list, I thought that I'd mention this :-)
Knitted village put up for sale. A knitted replica of a Kent village with 100 features including teenagers smoking in a bus shelter has been put up for sale. The model of Mersham, near Ashford, has been knitted by members of the village's 40-strong Afternoon Club over the past 23 years. The group has raised about £10,000 for their village hall by exhibiting it. But the creation is now to be split up and sold off because it has become too large to be transported. Since 1986, thousands of hours of handiwork have gone into the village. Creations also include the primary school, church, both pubs, the shop, and residents playing cricket. There are also many houses, complete with flowers in the gardens and cars on the roads, to capture a slice of everyday life of the village, which dates back to the Saxons and has a population of about 1,000.
