“The Knitted Bible is the loveltest thing I

In 2012 we borrowed ‘the Knitted Bible’ from St
George’s URC in Hartlepool.
We organised local primary schools to see the
exhibition, then invited everyone else in the evenings and at the
weekend.

and in the next two years a craft group developed
who created our own ‘Knitted Bible’.
