Diving for purls

Knitting in public takes on a whole new meaning when you knit underwater!

It's not something that we've ever tried, but we've had a chat our resident diving expert who said it sounds rather fun. Our advice is:
  • Use an acrylic yarn – natural fibres like wool may felt or shed.
  • Do a test run with your hands underwater at home.
  • Make sure that your yarn and needles are easy to see – light filtering through the water makes it harder to see what you're doing at the bottom of the sea.
  • Use large needles – if you're wearing gloves fine needles may be hard to manipulate.
  • Think about where you're going to store them while you're swimming around.
  • Don't forget the camera – we want to see photos!
Let the knitting commence!
