Danish Drama Sparks Knitting Revival
Danish Drama Sparks Knitting Revival
Posted on Friday, 13 January 2012 11:33AM by
The latest item to capture the public’s knitting imagination is said to be the sweater worn by detective Sarah Lund in the Danish crime drama The Killing. Recently the Radio Times even published a knitting pattern for one of Sarah’s jumpers !
More and younger people have now got the knitting bug which was once simply associated with older lady stereotypes.
More and more knitting groups have been cropping up all over the country, with members meeting up to share tips and a gossip over their latest woolly projects in libraries, shops and pubs.
The Beeb says that the character’s love of woolly sweaters has caused a flurry in the knitting world.
