A great-great grandmother dubbed the ‘Queen of Knitting’ has created a massive six-foot long replica of Buckingham Palace made entirely out of wool.
Margaret Seaman spent eight months knitting the model of His Majesty’s main residence in London, after taking up the craft seriously just 10 years ago.
Even better, the 93-year-old has used her craft to raise over $120,000 for charities and gets stopped on the street because of her new celebrity status.
“Now, when I sit in the car whilst we’re out, people knock on my window and say, ‘are you the lady that does the knitting?
“But I don’t feel any different—I’m still Margaret.”
Her most recent creation, the woolly Buckingham Palace, has been lovingly built over months with polystyrene blocks for structure and wiring to create the gates.
It features tiny guards with bear-skin hats and pedestrians staring up at the grand palace, with landscaping and trees around the structure.
