New Show Alert: The Game of Wool!
Have you heard about The Game of Wool: Britain’s Best Knitter? It’s a brand-new reality competition from the UK where ten knitters (and a few crocheters) go head-to-head in creative, time-pressured knitting and crochet challenges — all judged by top textile and fashion experts.
Hosted by Olympic champion-turned-knitting-enthusiast Tom Daley, the show is sparking renewed interest in knitting, creativity and crafts.
Although the show airs on BBC in the UK, the full episodes are available on YouTube, which means we can watch too — no special subscriptions needed! 🎉
