Our Guinness Book of Records Longest Scarf Attempt continues. The plan is to beat the record and then break up the scarf into blankets for charity.

As the previous record (32 kilometres) has been beaten by the Welsh in 2005 (the new record is 53 kilometres!), we need to knit faster than ever to overtake their record. We aim to finish by the end of our festival in July 2008 (10 years).

Please invite your friends to join us in knitting for record and charity.

Use 8 ply wool on 4mm needles. Cast on 66 stitches and knit in garter stitch. Lengths of 1 metre are easiest for us to manage.

If you can't knit, ask a friend to teach you. You may like to donate 8 ply wool or 4mm needles so others can knit.

Send your 1 metre length to:
