I don’t know if it’s because we’re heading in to summer or because I just haven’t been paying attention, but I didn’t see a lot of knitting news this week. But I did want to share this piece from mental_floss about 11 famous knitters.
Sure, you probably know most of them, like Julia Roberts, Eleanor Roosevelt, Grace Coolidge (pictured) and Kate Middleton, but there are a couple that might surprise you.
One I will make you click through to see, but one is Ringo Starr. He says he was sick a lot as a child and knitting was something he could do while in bed.
Did you know that?
Of course there are many more than these famous knitters, so feel free to add to the list if you have a favorite who didn’t make the cut. (Katharine Hepburn is mine.)
