Some knitters dream of our little house of their own that they can fill with their yarn stash and knitting goodies. Knitters in Hilmarton have come up with an idea which flips that on its head and raises money for their local church. They're knitting a house.
The six-by-six foot house will be knitted by more than 30 of the community's knitters for the village's craft and music festival which takes place in July. They're thinking big too with plans for window boxes, a chimney and a surrounding garden too.
The crafty cottage will be the main feature of the two-day festival which will raise money, by ticket sales and donations, for Hilmarton's St Laurence Church. Knitting begins now and the knitters in question have no doubts they can finish the task in the five months they have till the big day.
