The art of knitting: masterpieces reimagined
Each year amateur knitting group The Materialistics take on a wildly extreme project, involving hundreds of knitters in their South Tyneside community.
Last year it was a Victorian house kitted out for Christmas, before that a coat for a boat. But this year might just be their most impressive: The Grand Tour exhibition contains knitted versions of some of the most famous paintings in the world.
Having just shown the collection at the Stitch and Craft show in London, the group are now working on where to take it next. Perri Lewis picks the highlights
