Has knitting has its day? Was the boom of the past few years a short-lived thing? It would appear not. Brit award winning musician Kate Nash recently announced that her ambition was to learn to knit, proving that picking up your needles really can be rock 'n' roll. She's already made a scarf. We'd be happy to give Kate a few lessons, but if she's looking for a celebrity tutor, perhaps she should ask Dame Helen Mirren to show her the ropes. She won an Oscar last year, and revealed in the run-up to this year's ceremony that she knitted a scarf for her statuette to keep the little naked man warm!
One thing we do wonder, though, is why we never see any celebrity knitters out and about in their own creations. Have you spotted one? Or could it be that they're secretly all knitting for charity? If you're a star who knits, or you know one, we'd love to know where all their hard work ends up!
