On Sunday afternoon I braved the breeze to watch a world record attempt - not in the marathon that finished in the park near me - but for number of felted stones
The ladies who are organising the local yarnbombing have been working with local Brownies, Cubs etc covering stones in felted wool in order to challenge the record. I can't remember the exact numbers but the standing record is a few hundred and they had made 1150 - enough to fill in all of the outline (of a horse) but I didn't manage a good photo of the completed pile due to everyone else trying to get a photo too. A recording of the event has been sent off for verification of the new record.
Hope you all have a good week.

Who knew that such a record was there to be beaten (col). What fun & I hope that the weather holds for a perfect Bank Holiday.
Fantastic idea - you always seem to have a lot of crafty things going on where you live.
I was just saying a little while ago here that the breeze here is strong enough to blow the smell of the sea right up the river and into our garden. It doesn't happen very often.
What a fantastically fun record. I bet the Brownies loved every minute of it
Wishing you a great week
That is a different record to break. A good way of getting different community groups involved.
Don't they look beautiful? There were an abundance of stones where we were this weekend, none as colourful as these though.
It'a amazing to me the things that can be done to break records! Who ever knew there were covered stones?
Don't they look wonderful! I would love to felt a stone. I think I might try.
Oh, what a FUN project!
What a neat idea. They look like they'd be fun to make too.
