...so it's a knitting Triathlon?

This is actually really awesome! For people who like string, anyway. I've always wanted to see one of these.

Reblogging for MeMum.

Also inB4: it’s not string, it’s yarn. String is coarse and stiff and not pleasant to wear (yes, I count twine as ‘string’). Yarn can be made of acrylic or wool (or, for that matter, just about any fuzz that comes off a mammal, and some fuzzes that come from plants). And if you call acrylic yarn “wool” around MeMum, you deserve everything you get.

[This has been a public service reblogging to stop MeMum phoning me to lecture me for hours on the difference between string and yarn]
