【明報專訊】It is getting cold now! Let's get warm with scarves, mittens, jumpers... let's knit!

◆Tools

(picture 1)

.Needles (織針) come in different diameters so that you can use them with yarn of various thickness.

.Some prefer using crochet hooks (u針) as they can be used with one hand.

.Yarn (毛線) can be made of different materials, including wool, cotton and synthetic fibres.

Want to adorn your socks or cardigan?

.Refer to different patterns and test your skills!

◆The trend

Yarn bombing is a new movement of street art that has gained popularity in recent years. Artists wrap public facilities such as phone boxes, benches in parks and lamp posts in colourfully knitted or crocheted yarn works. (picture 2)

◆World record

Think you need fancy tools and excellent skills for knitting? Ida Sofie Myking Veseth from Norway proved that all you need is patience. The 14-year-old girl with deteriorated eyesight has woven a crochet rope with her fingers. The rope measured 19.3695 km and broke the record for the longest finger knitting in 2016.

◆Celebrities

While some may think that it is easier to buy clothes and it is not "cool" to do yarn works, Hollywood stars and singers like Kristen Stewart (left) and Demi Lovato (right) are fond of the work! (photo C)
