If you've ever felt repetitive strain injury sympathy for folks who attempt to cover large things in knitting this one is going to make your joints ache in the extreme. A Belgian film company turns an entire house warm and woolly in an astounding advert for Natural Gas.
The video uses a mix of knit (both machine and hand), crochet and stop-motion film to cover whole rooms of a house in wool to represent the 'soft warmth' of natural gas. It's so well done that the house literally comes alive with a woolly presence as radiators are wrapped, toys are turned woolly and the individual planks of floorboards are purled.
You can see the making of it here too. It features clips of industrious knitters and a fair bit of very satisfying unravelling.
It's an epic effort to use the cosy image we all have of handmade stitching to illustrate a warm home and it works very well.
I'm willing to bet you'll watch it more than once. Then possibly take a look around your home to see what you can wool up.
