A woman in Surrey has made an entire English garden out of knitted items, from carrots to snails to squirrels to a picnic lunch — she solicited contributions from all over England:

The project has been painstakingly completed by more than 300 contributors, including a group of gay men knitting in Brighton, and a 12-year-old boy in Sussex, who spent six months making the pond and waterfall.

Ms Bolsover, 46, of Dorking, Surrey, estimates her team made 4 million individual stitches, knitting together 80km of wool.
