The cost of knitting has just gone up

Posted on by

I just saw a report of this on the news, and it cracked me up. A man received a fine for 90£ for allegedly driving in a bus lane, 120 miles from his home. The photographic evidence shows a woman walking in the bus lane while wearing a sweatshirt that says “KNITTER”. The traffic computers sent an automated ticket to a man with the license plate “KN19TER”.

Here is a link to the news article, but I must say the local TV news report was better. They tried to interview the man who had received the ticket, and he and his wife couldn’t stop giggling. A bit of knitting humour to lift up your day.

  1. tinaor – Farnborough, Kent – I knit a lot. I stitch a bit. I try and make a few pretty things. I call myself HandmadeHomemadeKnitStitchDesign with the idea that I can make a few things for myself and gift a few more things too. I work a bit. I am a mother. I love France and French things.

  2. That is priceless!!! Naturally, I shared the article with all my knitting friends. As I end this ‘full-moon school day’, the chuckle is much appreciated.
