00:00Tackled their third solo challenge to create glamorous swimwear for Team GB

00:05The pants, they're not quite going according to plan

00:09Before using their crochet skills to make a deck chair

00:13Can someone grab me a pina colada please?

00:16Lydia was named Big Knitter of the Week

00:19You should be proud because the fit is lovely

00:21A feat of engineering

00:23Simon lacked a plan

00:25Just trying to make it up as I go along

00:27Tracy missed the mark

00:30I'm not sure the flowers have worked terribly well

00:32But it was Stephanie who was cast off

00:36Thank you very much indeed

00:37Thank you

00:38Now

00:40It's Week 4 and our seven remaining knitters better have brought their creativity

00:46Their A-game and of course some adorable baby lambs

00:50Because it's Kids Week on Game of War

00:57Hello knitters and welcome back

01:02I hope everyone's up for a bit of fun this week

01:03Because it's Kids Week

01:06So for this week's solo challenge

01:09Di and Sheila would love for you to make a costume

01:11That a toddler can wear to a kid's fancy dress party

01:16So everyone for this solo challenge

01:21We would like you to make a unique outfit

01:24A standout design

01:26And lovely stitch work

01:29So that when we look at it we're wowed

01:32So crochet only

01:36Your outfit should have three elements to it

01:42It should be an instantly recognisable design

01:47And as Di said the best possible choice of crochet stitches

01:53By now in the competition we really expect to see a range of stitches used

01:58Later on we are going to have some feral two year olds wearing your outfits

02:05You've got 12 hours

02:07So let's get this party started and let's get hooking

02:10This solo challenge will test the knitter's ability to use crochet stitches alone

02:19To bring a character to life

02:21Nearing the halfway point of the competition

02:24The judges expect originality, structural strength and maximum impact

02:29Only the best are in with a chance of securing the coveted sheep badge

02:34My first goal was to be here

02:37And then I was like well now I have a new goal

02:40I want to get one of those sheep

02:41First the knitters must crochet the main body of the garment

02:46Carefully considering stitches and fastenings to ensure the best possible fit

02:52Next they must complete a piece of characterful headgear

02:55To really bring their outfit to life

02:58Finally knitters must add embellishments and accessories

03:01Which can withstand the rough and tumble of playtime

03:05The judges will be expecting all three elements to work together

03:09To create an original and imaginative character

03:12Designs like these might take more than 30 hours

03:15But in the yarn barn they have just 12

03:19We only have seven knitters left

03:23What are you expecting to see when you walk into the yarn barn?

03:26That it's really imaginative

03:28Also that their technical ability is shining through too

03:33Because it's always a balance

03:34It's always the two Tom

03:36It's always creative and technical

03:38You've got to be able to do both to win game of war

03:41Still buzzing from her first big knitter win last week

03:47Mum of two Lydia is starting to create the body of her outfit

03:51In this our first solo crochet challenge

03:55I gave the choice to my girls

03:56I said what would you like mummy to make

03:58And they said a lion

03:59Lydia is making a lion romper suit

04:04Using double and treble crochet

04:06Worked in the round

04:07A technique that builds up from a central point

04:10To create a seamless shape and flexible fit

04:12She's also making a tail, wrist cuffs and a hood

04:17Using the loop stitch

04:18A technique which forms decorative loops of yarn

04:21To create her mane

04:22Lydia, what inspired the lion?

04:26Um, my girls

04:27So this is my very detailed plan

04:30Oh, okay

04:32The girls help

04:33Did they draw it?

04:33That is so cute

04:39You're planning to do it in the round?

04:40Okay, in the round

04:41Completely in the round

04:41Right, so for kids

04:42That's great

04:43They can pull it on

04:44And there's no sewing up at the end

04:46Exactly

04:46Well, I wish you the best of luck

04:47With your roar and purr

04:50Oh, my God

04:51Also kicking off with the body of his outfit

04:56And determined to make it count

04:57Is Isaac

04:58I was talking to my mum

04:59And I was like

05:00Man, I really need an idea for a kid's costume

05:02And she said Explorer

05:03And I was like

05:04Okay, we can work with that

05:07I'm putting an intarsia globe on it

05:08I've just finished South America

05:10And getting to the top of Africa

05:11Isaac's Explorer wears a pocketed safari jacket

05:17He has carefully charted a globe

05:19Using the intarsia technique

05:21And plans to create a canvas-style fabric

05:24Using a time-consuming spike stitch

05:26To make a spike stitch

05:28You work down into the row below

05:30Pulling the new loop up to the height of the current row

05:32To create a longer vertical stitch

05:35He's accessorized with binoculars

05:37A compass

05:38And an ambitious pith helmet

05:41Demanding clever engineering

05:43For this crochet-only challenge

05:46The judges have specifically asked

05:48For creative crochet stitches

05:50To elevate basic fancy dress

05:52Into full-blown characters

05:54Isaac's hoping his choice

05:56Will help navigate him into the next round

05:59My eye has been caught

06:00Yes

06:01I've chosen to do a spike stitch

06:03In the main fabric of the vest

06:05It's going to take a lot longer for it to work up

06:07But I do think it provides

06:09Like a slightly more elegant look

06:10It does look much more like a woven fabric

06:13Yes

06:13Because they're typically made of like canvas

06:15Yes, exactly

06:15Because it seems a really considered stitch to use

06:20It's so much harder

06:24When you don't have a huge arsenal of crochet stitches

06:28Oh, I've never crocheted before in my life

06:30Did I say that?

06:31I said I was a novice

06:33I didn't say I haven't crocheted

06:35Yeah, right

06:35Because I obviously have

06:36Crocheted a deck chair, okay?

06:38Yeah, not many of us can say that

06:40No stranger to making outfits

06:43Fashion designer Holger

06:45Is reimagining a childhood friend

06:47As a three-year-old

06:48I had a little fox

06:50Fox in German is fox

06:53As a three-year-old

06:54I wasn't able to pronounce the K sound

06:56So whenever I wanted to say fox

06:58I said foots

06:59Holger's Foots the Fox costume

07:03Is made up of striped dungarees

07:05Secured with a shoulder strap

07:07And hand-crocheted buttons

07:09His foxy elements include cuffs

07:11A bushy tail

07:12And a headpiece

07:13Using a brushed yarn technique

07:15To create whiskery sideburns

07:17Just started a second panel of my trousers

07:20For her solo knit

07:24Librarian worker Dipti

07:25Has been inspired by children's novel

07:27The Day the Crayons Quit

07:29Once the child puts it on

07:32Hopefully they will look like a crayon

07:34The hat is a tip

07:35And I'm going to make a little bag

07:37That looks like a crayon

07:38In which to put all your crayons in

07:39So it's crayon, crayon, crayon, crayon

07:42Dipti is creating a crayon shaped outfit

07:47In a basic double crochet stitch

07:49She's looking to impress

07:50With intricate lettering

07:51Using intarsia crochet on the front

07:54A technique she's not tried before

07:56The hat will be a crayon tip

07:58And her third component

08:00Is a matching bag

08:01For actual crayons

08:02Instead of shaping around the body

08:05Dipti has got started

08:07With just a simple tube

08:09Shaping wise it is really simple

08:12You know

08:12I'm changing the shape of the child

08:14The child is going to look like a crayon

08:16Two hours into the challenge

08:21Knitters should be well into the body

08:23Of their costumes

08:23And starting to consider

08:25How to add characterisation

08:27To their outfits

08:28Last week

08:30It was Tracy's lack of embellishments

08:31With her bikini

08:32That put her in the danger zone

08:34What are we here?

08:35This is a bee

08:36I'm working on the body at the moment

08:38Can I just see which different stitches

08:40You've been using?

08:42So I've used trebles and clusters

08:44Treble stitches are tall and loose

08:46Cluster stitches add raised texture

08:48I do like the cluster effect

08:50It's giving a really nice added texture

08:53To it

08:53Tracy's bee outfit

08:57Has a stripy body

08:58In two stitch techniques

09:00And this queen bee

09:01Will also wear a crown

09:03To construct the wings

09:04She has decided to use

09:06Two hair curling bands

09:07Which she will wrap in yarn

09:09What's the structure of the wings?

09:12Well I'm bending these

09:13I'm going to wrap round and tie them

09:15Hair curling bands

09:16Will add weight to the wings

09:18Making them trickier to attach

09:20How will that attach?

09:22And I'm going to attach like that

09:25So then I will crochet that bit on

09:27Yeah, okay

09:33Elsa

09:38I've got the body piece

09:41It's so cute

09:42It looks random

09:43But it's actually quite calculated

09:46Elsa's zebra costume

09:50Will feature a hat

09:51With added facial features

09:53And leg warmers

09:54On the body

09:55She will use multiple stitches

09:57Of different sizes

09:58Creating a natural looking stripe

10:00Inspired by a knitting pattern

10:02She unearthed

10:03From the 1950s

10:05I like the way the stitches were done

10:09And I managed to do this

10:11In such a way

10:12That I'd create

10:12Sort of irregular stripes

10:14Creating that weird flow

10:16To make them a regular

10:17Makes it like an actual zebra

10:18Right?

10:22By the four hour mark

10:23Knitters should have moved on

10:25To their second element

10:26Crocheted headgear

10:27To really transform the toddlers

10:29Into their characters

10:30Ta-da!

10:33He's going to have a little ears on

10:35I'm going to add

10:35A little bit of extra material

10:37So it gets really, really fluffy

10:39When you brush it out

10:40This is a little pith hat

10:42I love it

10:44I think it suits you

10:45It might fit

10:46You look amazing

10:51Wow

10:53Shucks

10:54Last week

10:57Simon's lack of planning

10:59Led to him being marked down

11:00By the judges

11:01It's definitely

11:02A more focused week

11:04Currently on the helmet

11:05I'm using a double crochet

11:07Simon's night costume

11:10Will feature body armour

11:11Crocheted in a beginner

11:13Friendly granny square stitch

11:15To mimic chain mail

11:16There is more complexity

11:17In the helmet

11:18But unlike last week

11:19Simon's written a pattern

11:21His accessory

11:22Is an ambitious

11:23Mixed

11:24With interlinking chains

11:25All made from

11:26Tight double crochet stitches

11:28Perfect for intricate shaping

11:30My biggest concern

11:33Is my knowledge

11:34Of crochet

11:35And the simplicity

11:36Of the stitches

11:38The judges

11:38Said about using

11:40Different stitches

11:40But I've only got a few

11:41In my arsenal

11:42I think everyone

11:46Is taking this challenge

11:47A little bit too seriously

11:48Luckily

11:51I'm on hand

11:52With the party games

11:53Game of woolly pinata

11:54Anyone?

11:54You have six hours

12:08To go

12:08By now

12:09Knitters should be finishing

12:11Their bodies and headgear

12:12And moving on

12:13To the accessories

12:14At this stage

12:15Of the competition

12:16Every element

12:17Must embody

12:18Technical prowess

12:19For knitters

12:20To stand out

12:21Stiff competition

12:22This week

12:22What do you reckon?

12:24Something arguably good

12:25Will have to go

12:27Dipti is struggling

12:29With the lettering

12:30On the body

12:31Of her crayon

12:31I think I've gone wrong somewhere

12:33This is entirely a crochet

12:39Yes

12:40I had to learn

12:41Just for this

12:42And it's been

12:43Quite a learning process

12:44And I hope

12:45The lettering

12:46Will be clear

12:47And you weren't

12:51Tempted to

12:51Surface crochet

12:53Or

12:53Afterwards

12:54The lettering

12:56No

12:56Because I wanted

12:57To be able

12:57To show you

12:58That I could

12:59Use this technique

13:00Yes

13:00Do you mind

13:01If I have a little look?

13:02Of course you can

13:03Thank you

13:03Very much so

13:04Just tidy it up

13:14A little bit

13:14Smarten them up

13:15Smarten them up

13:17Yeah

13:17Good luck

13:18Dipti

13:18Good luck

13:19Thank you

13:20It's kids week

13:32In the yarn barn

13:33And while I get the party

13:34Started outside

13:35So we go

13:36In the stitch

13:37Round the needle

13:39Pull it through

13:40And off

13:41Got it?

13:44Inside

13:44Knitters are more than

13:45Halfway through

13:46Their solo challenge

13:47Original

13:48Crochet only

13:49Fancy dress

13:51Outfits for kids

13:52Some are well

13:53Into the third

13:54And final stage

13:54Of the challenge

13:55The accessories

13:56I'm making the

13:57Second monocular

13:58To form my

13:59Binoculars

14:00The tail

14:01Will be crocheted

14:02These are little

14:03Leg warmers

14:04I'm making a mace

14:06Mace handle

14:07This is the bit

14:09Tracy's worried about

14:10Very worried about

14:12But others

14:16Are still working

14:17On the main body

14:18Of their garment

14:19My priority

14:19Is to try and

14:20Take Di and

14:21Sheila's advice

14:22And work on

14:23The front of

14:23The outfit

14:24Make it look

14:25Tidier

14:25And a bit

14:26More defined

14:27I can't decide

14:31Whether that's

14:32Better or worse

14:33Lydia's face

14:35Says it all

14:36That actually

14:41Doesn't look

14:41Too bad

14:42From far away

14:42Yeah

14:43She's told

14:44I can't

14:44Hilarious

14:46Simon

14:52Oh this looks fun

14:55Oh wow

14:55Look at that

14:56So these are

14:57Lots of loops

14:57That you made

14:58Double crochet

14:58Yeah

14:59Double crochet

15:00Foundation

15:00Shaves

15:01Fantastic

15:01This is great

15:03Instead of using

15:07Crochet alone

15:08Tracy chose

15:10Hair curling

15:10Bands to create

15:11Shape

15:12But they've made

15:13The wings

15:13Much heavier

15:14And harder

15:15To attach

15:15I'm going to put

15:16A crochet plate

15:17Across the back

15:18And put it in place

15:19So put it right

15:20The way round

15:20Both sides

15:21To hold it

15:22Flutter flutter

15:23Mostly finish

15:28The romper

15:29I'll start

15:31My tail

15:31Here

15:32Just a tube

15:32Like literally

15:33Looking around

15:34And there's

15:34All these

15:34Incredible

15:35Costumes

15:35Coming to life

15:36Knitters

15:42You have

15:43One hour

15:44Until this

15:44Paddling

15:45Wall

15:45Is going

15:46To be

15:46Full of

15:46Toddlers

15:47Trying out

15:48Your outfit

15:48That kind of

15:52Rems up

15:53The pressure

15:53Nicely

15:54That's what

15:54We want

15:54You know

15:55More pressure

15:55In this

15:57Final hour

15:58The knitters

15:58Must complete

15:59Their three

16:00Elements

16:00Ready for

16:01Judgment

16:01Dipti

16:03Is working

16:03On her hat

16:04So the hat

16:05Is going to

16:06Tie under

16:07The child's

16:07Head

16:08Got long

16:11To go now

16:12What's going

16:12On

16:12Getting there

16:13Putting some

16:14Facial features

16:15On

16:15There's a wee bit

16:16Of eye shadow

16:17Isaac where are you

16:18At

16:18I'm just making

16:19My compass

16:19That is adorable

16:20Oh my gosh

16:22Okay

16:22Lydia

16:23Yeah

16:23Where are you at

16:24I will attach

16:25A tail here

16:26Let's have a look

16:26At the tail

16:27Attachment

16:27Lovely

16:28Okay and Holger

16:30I am attaching

16:31The tail

16:32To the trousers

16:32You look at that tail

16:34I don't know

16:41I don't know

16:41Whether it will be

16:42Enough for the judges

16:43I've given it

16:44My best shot

16:44All finished

16:46Time is up

16:51Playtime is over

16:53I'm done baby

16:54Yay

16:55I had the opportunity

16:59To see everyone else

17:00And they are really

17:01Fantastic

17:02The stakes are

17:02High this week

17:04The stakes will be

17:07Even higher

17:08When our seven costumes

17:09Face their true test

17:11Toddlers

17:12Toddler test passed

17:38It's judgment time

17:40It's now time

17:41For Di and Sheila

17:42To get critical

17:44With the crochet

17:45So first up

17:46We have Holger

17:47So Holger

17:55Lots of nice

17:55Stitch details

17:56Design details

17:58Teasled

17:59It is a bit of fluff

18:00Works incredibly well

18:02So three elements

18:03The head

18:04The little dungarees

18:06I love the tail

18:07You thought about

18:08The construction

18:09The weight of this fabric

18:11Yeah

18:11And the crochet button

18:13Is great

18:14I think it is a success

18:16Yes

18:16Thank you

18:17This challenge

18:19Wasn't just about

18:20Creating a toddler's outfit

18:22We were looking for

18:24Something that was

18:26Original

18:27And special

18:28And

18:29That's what you've done

18:30So thank you

18:31Thank you very much Holger

18:32Next up

18:34We have Tracy

18:34Queen Bee

18:40You have

18:42Cleverly used

18:43Clusters

18:44Here

18:45To give it

18:45Really nice texture

18:47And also

18:47Breaking up the fact

18:48That they are

18:49Essentially yellow

18:50And black stripes

18:51Buttons

18:52Slightly sad

18:53These aren't

18:54Crocheted

18:54I'm not sure

18:59That the wings

18:59Work

19:00I think

19:02They're a bit

19:02Too heavy

19:02Because of

19:04The weight

19:04Of these

19:05You needed

19:05To compensate

19:06It's pulled it

19:07Right away

19:08From the back

19:09They don't

19:10They don't quite

19:10Look like wings

19:11Next up

19:14We have Lydia

19:15Wow

19:20That is a real

19:22Romper suit

19:22Some great

19:24Embellishments

19:25To this

19:26These lovely

19:27Cufflet

19:28The echo

19:29The echo

19:29On the bottom

19:30The mane

19:30The tail

19:31It does all tie together

19:33It ties together

19:34Really well

19:34The tail

19:35It's actually got

19:36Quite a nice shape

19:37Hasn't it

19:37I know it's a small detail

19:41I know it's a small detail

19:41But again

19:43Crocheted please

19:44Those are quite important details

19:47Okay

19:47That you've made everything yourself

19:49Yeah

19:49Obviously a lion suit

19:51Is not super original

19:52Yeah

19:53But I think

19:54It's got your mark on it

19:55Which I like

19:56Thank you

19:56Thank you Lydia

19:57Thank you Lydia

19:58Next up we have Simon

19:59The helmet

20:04Is a good solid

20:06Piece of construction

20:07You thought this through

20:08Didn't you

20:08I tried

20:10You planned

20:11Yeah

20:11Which is unusual for me

20:13When it comes to crochet

20:14Literally everything I've got

20:15Is in that

20:16So I can see

20:19You've really tried hard

20:20Here

20:21Different crochet stitches

20:22You're adapting

20:24What you know you can do

20:26To fit all the

20:27Different requirements

20:28There is more

20:29That you could have done

20:30I'm sure

20:31I actually really love this

20:35Very pleasing

20:36Historical object

20:38And a great success earlier

20:39In the toddler arena

20:41Go on Di

20:44Give it a swing

20:45You know you want to

20:46There you go

20:47The detail you put into this

20:50Defines this costume

20:52Engineering like that

20:53Really makes me happy

20:54I think you really stepped up

20:56Making this

20:56Next up we have Ailsa

21:00She's quite something

21:06Isn't she

21:06Thank you

21:08A lot of fun

21:09I mean a child's imagination

21:13Can run wild

21:14Wearing something like this

21:15One of the striking things

21:18Is how you manipulated

21:19Your crochet stitches

21:21To uneven lines

21:23You have

21:25I would guess

21:26Very carefully worked out

21:28The height

21:28Of each crochet stitch

21:31Yeah that's right

21:32It's a cracking pattern

21:34The detail in the eyes

21:37Is exceptional

21:39The eye shadow

21:41With this offset top section

21:44So you could then put the eye on top

21:46To raise it out

21:48The intention of fine detail

21:50In there

21:51Is really really amazing

21:53Love it

21:55And next up

21:56Is Isaac

21:57I love this Isaac

22:05This lovely textured crochet stitching

22:08Which looks like a woven fabric

22:10From an explorer's jacket

22:12This is really complicated

22:15Crochet in tarsia

22:17And the countries are beautifully shaped

22:19It's very clear

22:21And it's very good

22:21In your helmet

22:23You have worked a set of spirals

22:28To your centre

22:30Very nicely engineered

22:32Got some really amazing little elements

22:36Compass

22:36Which is a lovely surprise for a child

22:39But more exciting for a child to have

22:42Is a pair of binoculars

22:44I could see a child loving

22:46Getting into character

22:47A small explorer

22:49Yeah

22:49Next up

22:51It's Dipty

22:52So we've got

22:57A crayon

22:59Great wee hat

23:03This is your little third element

23:06Yes

23:06The crayon bag

23:08Yes

23:08Which is very sweet

23:10Nicely engineered

23:12So you have been exploring intarsia

23:17Crochet

23:17Yes

23:18Crochet

23:18Yes

23:19You've chosen to

23:21Outline

23:21The letters

23:23The letters

23:23Yes

23:23It's difficult to see

23:30I think when we were thinking about

23:36Making these letters clearer

23:38I wouldn't have expected such long lengths of yarn

23:43So I think it's oversized

23:48It does gape at the back

23:52It gapes at the back

23:53I find the concept just slightly too simple

23:56Yeah

23:57It's not allowed you to create shape and form

24:02Which I would have liked to have seen more of

24:06Thank you very much Dipty

24:08Thanks Tom

24:08I just threw whatever I knew at it

24:12Which isn't a lot when it comes to crochet

24:14So yeah

24:16Just gave it what I had

24:17After looking at everybody else's makes

24:21Mine is really, really quite simple

24:24Maybe I've reached my peak

24:26I don't know

24:27Maybe I'm out of my depth

24:28I don't know

24:28It's time for the team knit

24:37And one final chance

24:39To claim the prized big knitter badge

24:41And avoid being cast off

24:44So

24:48For this week's group challenge

24:51Di and Sheila

24:52Would love for you

24:53To make

24:54A wall hanging

24:56For a children's bedroom

24:58Oh

24:59We're looking for something really imaginative

25:03Think fantastical beasts

25:04Think cosmic characters

25:05Superheroes

25:06Whatever you can dream up

25:08Now it wouldn't be game of war

25:09Without something extra interesting

25:11Thrown into the mix

25:12Because Di and Sheila

25:13Have devised a little game

25:14It's a game we've all played

25:15When we were younger

25:16So

25:17Here's one I made earlier

25:19First person

25:21Will design

25:22The first part

25:23The next person

25:25Will then design the second part

25:26Until the final design

25:28Is revealed

25:30We'd like you to make it

25:32As imaginative as you can

25:35We'll also be looking for

25:38Interactive and sensory elements

25:42And as always

25:44The challenge is judged blind

25:45So Di and Sheila

25:46I'm going to have to ask you

25:47To leave the armbar

25:49Okay

25:49Good luck

25:50Now for the teams

25:51In team one

25:53Dipti

25:53Holger

25:54Lydia

25:55And Simon

25:56In team two

25:57Tracy

25:58Isaac

25:59And Elsa

26:00You have eight hours

26:02To complete this challenge

26:03Let's get knitting

26:04For this team challenge

26:10They'll need their imaginations

26:11And stitches

26:12To run wild

26:13Each knitter

26:15Is creating their own

26:16Interactive decorative panel

26:18Which will then

26:19All be joined together

26:20To form one wall hanging

26:22Team one's piece

26:24Will be made up of four panels

26:25While team two's

26:27Will have three

26:28But their first task

26:30Is playing the game

26:31I really want to look

26:33I really want to look

26:35This is like really out there isn't it

26:43We're really going for shapes

26:45Yeah

26:45That's really important

26:46For children to recognise shapes

26:48Actually I had a thought

26:50Because it's so varied

26:52It might be worth

26:53Having the same background colour

26:54So that it is cohesive

26:56Across the whole design

26:57Is everyone cool with that?

27:01The shapes team

27:02Have created a geometric creature

27:04On a cream stocking stitch background

27:06Tracy's striking triangular face

27:10Features intarsia

27:11Appliqué eyes

27:12Sparkly yarn hair

27:14Beads and buttons

27:15For sensory impact

27:17Isaac's circular caterpillar body

27:20Mixes waffle and cable knit

27:22With textured yarns

27:23Plus eye cord legs

27:25That push and pull

27:26Ailsa finishes the design

27:29With a colour block intarsia skirt

27:31Tieable lace up shoes

27:33And a furry friend

27:34With a jingly bell

27:35The whole wall hanging

27:36Is framed in neat garter stitch

27:38Instead of just jumping straight in

27:41The other team

27:42Are coming up with a character

27:43Before taking pen to paper

27:45What immediately comes to your mind

27:47For a character

27:48Could be under the sea

27:49Like a sea creature

27:51And sea creature

27:52Will give us more opportunity

27:54To make it interactive and fun

27:55Okay

27:56Shall we just draw

27:58Go for it

28:03Start again

28:04I mean

28:06I like it

28:07The sea creature team

28:11Are building an ambitious

28:13Underwater world

28:14Complete with a monster

28:15Rising from the depths

28:16Panel by panel

28:17Packs with interactive features

28:19Above the surface

28:21Simon's human head

28:22Sits on a blue

28:23Stocking-stitched sky

28:24With a zipped mouth

28:25Pom-pom nose

28:26And applique sunglasses

28:28Below

28:29Lydia's torso

28:30Has bobbly yarn tentacle arms

28:32And a working

28:32Crochet zip-up vest

28:34On sparkly seaweed yarn

28:36Dipti's fully crocheted panel

28:38Adds textured legs

28:39And removable swimming trunks

28:40At the seabed

28:42Holger's intarsia feet

28:43Rest on richly stitched textures

28:45With tactile pom-pom toenails

28:47With the two creatures

28:51Jumped up

28:52The teams cast on

28:53But with two

28:54Very different approaches

28:56I like the idea

28:58Of doing four

28:59Distinct backgrounds

29:00I think as long as

29:02Like the background colours

29:03Are the same throughout

29:04It can sort of

29:05Look like it's one thing

29:06Yeah

29:06When you were growing up

29:10What was your favourite game?

29:11This was one of mine

29:12Really?

29:13Yes

29:13Create something

29:15As outrageous as we could

29:16Get away with

29:17Oh I can only imagine

29:18What went through your mind

29:19Sheila

29:20Ah well

29:20What kind of designs

29:23Are you hoping for

29:24In this challenge?

29:25I'm looking for something

29:26Really creative

29:27Is there a chance

29:28To communicate fun?

29:31What do you think

29:32Could go wrong?

29:33The working out

29:34Of how it's all

29:36Going to hang together

29:36How they actually decide

29:39To make all the panels join

29:41We have asked for playful

29:43And wildly imaginative

29:44But of course

29:45People could tip over the edge

29:47The knitters have started

29:51By creating their individual panels

29:53So what colour shall I do

29:55The face?

29:56Yellow may be nice

29:57I'm thinking yellow

29:57Would be nice

29:58Necklace

29:59Bubbles for the hat

30:00I'm never more happy

30:01Than when I'm surrounded

30:02By glitter and things

30:04And stuff

30:04I'm doing the crazy belly

30:07Of our creature

30:08I'm using a lot of

30:09Different textures of yarn

30:10I've got sparkle

30:11I've got fluffy

30:12And then I'm also doing

30:13Waffle stitch

30:14Knitting doesn't like

30:15To hang vertically

30:16So the shapes team

30:18Are knitting a border

30:19To avoid the entire

30:20Wall hanging

30:21Curling in on itself

30:22We're doing garter stitch

30:24At the side

30:24So that we have

30:25A cohesive pattern

30:26Going up the side

30:27Of the panel

30:27This frame

30:28Not only gives it

30:30A uniform frame

30:30That we don't need

30:31To worry about

30:31When we've completed it

30:32But it also helps

30:34To prevent the stockinette

30:35From curling as much

30:36Has anyone ever made

30:38A panel

30:38For a wall before?

30:40I have not

30:41I've got a big

30:42Tapestry crochet

30:43In my kitchen

30:44Of course

30:45And how long

30:46Did it take you?

30:47Please tell me

30:48Under eight hours

30:49Because I'm quite

30:54A slow knitter

30:55I have opted

30:56To crochet

30:57It will look different

30:58But it's supposed

30:59To look different

30:59Because everybody's

31:00Panels are going

31:01To look different

31:02When they get

31:02Put together anyway

31:03Knits and crochet

31:05Stitches differ

31:05In size and tension

31:07Making the panels

31:08Match requires

31:09Careful swatching

31:10Measuring

31:11And adjusting

31:12Stitch counts

31:13Thought I'd measured it

31:14But it's come out

31:15Too big

31:15Can we lay it together

31:16So

31:17Quite considerably smaller

31:21I'll start again

31:22And I'll reduce it

31:24To see if I can

31:24Get it to fit

31:25Lydia's better

31:26I hope this doesn't

31:28Mean that I don't

31:29Finish it

31:29I really do hope

31:30But yeah

31:31Okay team

31:32Where are we at

31:34God knows

31:34I'm lagging

31:36Vastly behind

31:37The more varied

31:38The stitches

31:39Textures

31:40And yarn weights

31:41The harder it will be

31:42To join the individual

31:43Panels

31:43And for it to hang

31:45Smoothly

31:45Okay

31:48So what is this

31:49We have a human head

31:50What is that

31:51It's like tentacle arms

31:53Okay

31:53Tentacle arms

31:54Which part are you

31:57So which part is the

31:58Red

32:00Arms

32:01The arms

32:02The arms are red

32:02But the body's purple

32:04Yeah

32:04Okay

32:05Why not

32:06Why not

32:07It's playfully imaginative

32:09And the interactive bits

32:10We're going to be

32:11Stuck on top

32:12Okay

32:13Lydia's going to do a jacket

32:14For her body

32:15I'm going to try

32:16And do some trunks

32:17It's always good to include

32:18As many different things

32:20As possible

32:20Okay

32:21Is there any part

32:22Of anyone that's a little bit

32:23Worried and concerned

32:24About time

32:25I mean absolutely

32:26It's delirium

32:28Well I will leave you

32:29To all of your beastly activities

32:32And I will see you soon

32:33How's it going to you

32:37So how did you come up with that

32:41As soon as we opened it up

32:42We saw there were circles there

32:44And then we thought

32:44Shapes

32:45Shapes just come to mind

32:46Educational

32:47Absolutely

32:48It all kind of matches

32:49And like you say

32:50You found a common ground

32:51Like yeah

32:52It's supposed to look like

32:53It was done by three different people

32:54Yeah

32:54But by having the same background

32:56Across all three parts

32:57When we joined them together

32:58It's a bit more cohesive

32:59What are some of the interactive ideas

33:02That you've got

33:02As part of your wall hanging

33:03Has anybody got any interactive

33:09Yeah

33:09It's got a bit of glitter

33:11And a bit of fluff here

33:12Also be adding shoelaces

33:14So that the kids can learn

33:15How to tie shoes

33:16Yeah

33:17We decided to keep it simple

33:18Just because

33:19Our design has a lot of colour

33:21And a lot going on

33:23She's got a little bit of a face

33:34Like a lemon now

33:34Sour-mouthed

33:35How are you Isaac

33:37How's it going

33:38Um it's going

33:40So on this pink one

33:41That I've done down here

33:42I've done a waffle stitch

33:43And then I've got this

33:44Like really sparkly stuff

33:45Over here

33:45Oh Isaac

33:46It's fantastic

33:47That's so lovely Isaac

33:49This is so far

33:51But while the Shapes team

33:52Are focused on the sensory

33:53The Sea Creature team

33:55Are leaning into interactivity

33:57Now it's just adding

33:58As much interactive nature

33:59As we can

34:00He'll have a jacket

34:01With a zip

34:01I am embarking on hair

34:03We'll have applications of

34:05Toes and seaweed

34:06And anything

34:07That's on the seabed

34:09I'm going to put some velcro

34:10On the swimming briefs

34:11So they're going to be

34:12Removable

34:12And put on a ball

34:13Knitters

34:17You're halfway through this challenge

34:19You have four hours remaining

34:20Well clearly nobody

34:23Wants to play with me

34:24In the final four hours

34:31Knitters should be finishing

34:33Their interactive elements

34:34And joining their panels

34:35To make a creature

34:36That hangs as one

34:38I'm very glad

34:39We went with the same

34:40Background colours

34:41Yeah

34:41Although I do look at this now

34:43And think oh god

34:44It's so plain

34:44I don't know if I like it

34:46The whole team

34:48Has been very cohesive

34:49In terms of the background colour

34:50And also created a border

34:52And also created a border

34:52Factored into each panel

34:53So it will sit flat

34:55My slight concern is that

34:57Having like a plain cream background

34:59Doesn't scream imagination

35:01And fun and excitement to me

35:03This team has spent more time

35:05On the interactiveness of it

35:07There's the embellishments

35:08And all the little bits

35:09They haven't necessarily thought about

35:10How everything links together

35:12It's looking a bit of chaos over here

35:16I've got 25 rows left

35:19We just haven't got that time

35:20Okay

35:21Okay

35:22Okay

35:23Okay

35:23The end result is what counts

35:25We need to get it finished

35:26It's Kids Week

35:34And the knitters are working in teams

35:36To create interactive

35:37Children's wall hangings

35:39By now

35:40Each team should have completed

35:41Their individual panels

35:43And be attaching them together

35:44I am now casting off my panel

35:47And I'm going to get ready

35:48To put these all together

35:49Can you hang it under mine Isaac?

35:52Is it good?

35:53It's matching up

35:54Yeah

35:54But the Sea Creature team

35:55Are drowning

35:56We're all individually

35:58Trying to finish our panels

35:59At the moment

36:00Knitters

36:02One hour to go

36:04Oh no

36:05In the final hour

36:06Knitters must complete

36:07Their wall hanging

36:08And attach them to dowels

36:10To be hung from the yarn barn roof

36:11But the Sea Creature team

36:13Haven't even finished their panels

36:14Let alone worked out

36:16How to join them

36:16It might just be a case of

36:19A quick and visible seam

36:20To join them all together

36:21We don't know

36:22How this thing

36:24Is going to end up on the frame

36:25I don't give a flying whatever about

36:28Monkeys

36:29Monkey

36:29Good idea

36:30How's it going over here?

36:32You're sewing together

36:33Embellishments are done

36:34We're sewing together

36:35I'm doing mattress stitch

36:37So that the seam is invisible

36:38Just because I want the stitches

36:39To look as if they're knitted

36:40Into each other

36:41We are calm

36:42You are very calm

36:43We are the zen group

36:43That's true

36:44I feel like the frantic

36:45Is coming from over there

36:47Good

36:48I'm going to go check in

36:51On the other team

36:52So I'll see you in a bit

36:53Bye Tom

36:54Bye Tom

36:54Oh okay

36:55We're doing that now

36:56Let's start thinking about

36:57Getting the pieces together

36:58Yeah

36:59Yeah

36:59This is not coming along

37:00Is it?

37:01When is the plan

37:02To start joining?

37:03I see one panel

37:04Is being joined right now

37:05About 25 minutes ago

37:06You do know that

37:07You have to have this

37:08On the pole right?

37:09Yeah

37:09And there's not much time left right?

37:11Yeah

37:11Oh yeah

37:11Yeah

37:12Thank you

37:12How do we think

37:15We want to attach this

37:16To the rods?

37:17When I made

37:17My wall hanging

37:19I just took one long thread

37:20And went round and round

37:22The dowel

37:22Whip it

37:23Whip it

37:24The whip stitch

37:27Wraps around the dowel

37:28And the edge of the fabric

37:29Holding both securely in place

37:31But it takes time to do well

37:33The sea creature team

37:37Are now attempting

37:37To sew their panels together

37:39Whilst finishing

37:40Their interactive elements

37:41At the same time

37:42I really need my panel

37:44To put my embellishments on

37:46I've got to put

37:47I need like some small sharp scissors

37:50I need small sharp scissors

37:52Here

37:53Small scissors

37:53Oh here

37:54Got em

37:55Got em

37:56If you can sew one end

37:58While I sew it onto the pole

37:59So what

38:01When

38:01The sea creature team

38:05Have no option

38:05But to roughly sew

38:07Their top panel

38:07To the dowel

38:08Yeah roll like this

38:09Yeah that's the job

38:10Really quickly

38:11I'm all finished

38:15Well done guys

38:16Well done

38:17How long have we got

38:22This doesn't match

38:23As far as she can

38:23Okay okay

38:24At this point

38:25Yep

38:26My pants are on

38:27Well it's better than your pants off

38:29So

38:29Knitters

38:31Finish your rows

38:33Needles down

38:34Time is up

38:35Who's at their pudding

38:36And who is having an extra serving

38:38And who is having an extra serving

38:38Of sprouts

38:39I love sprouts

38:41No matter whether we win or lose

38:44I'm really proud of this

38:46Ta-da

38:48Oh dear

38:50Eight hours

38:52And approximately 36,000 stitches later

38:55The teams have pulled off

38:57Two intricate interactive wall hangings

38:59Worthy of a child's bedroom

39:01Well done knitters

39:05That is two interactive wall hangings complete

39:08Come on in judges

39:09Oh my goodness

39:14Look at this

39:15Shall we look at this one first

39:23Yes

39:24On the top panel

39:27Simon's created a head

39:28With a zip up mouth

39:29And applique sunglasses

39:31Lydia created tentacle arms

39:34And a zip vest

39:35Dip tea

39:36A crochet panel

39:37With velcro trunks

39:39Holger's contribution

39:40Intarsia feet

39:42With pom pom toenails

39:43Well there's a lot

39:45To unpick here

39:47There is a lot

39:48Lots of different texture

39:49Stitches

39:51Lots of different colour

39:52Obviously

39:53Super bit of textured knitting

39:55At the bottom there

39:56Yeah

39:56Very nice

39:57Pants

39:59Oh

40:00Obviously we have a different edge

40:04Here

40:04Because it's a crochet panel

40:08It has come in narrower

40:09We have this bulge

40:12Slight bulge

40:13Yeah

40:14Don't we

40:15A zip

40:17Putting zips into knitwear

40:18Can be really challenging

40:20What you always want

40:22Is for it to sit flat

40:23And that's what this is doing

40:24It's sitting beautifully

40:25And then we get to another zip

40:27But

40:31Looks like he's talking

40:35I do like

40:41The idea of the garter stitch

40:43I like that

40:44Very much

40:45Edge

40:45Yes

40:45Although

40:47It sort of

40:48Stops here

40:50So

40:52They don't

40:53Match

40:53It looks like

40:55It's been sewn on

40:57It's very visible

40:58You've got this

41:00Slightly uneven effect

41:02Here

41:04We've got the join

41:05Between the panels

41:07I mean

41:08It's not brilliant

41:09Do you know

41:10That's one of the things

41:11About

41:12Planning ahead

41:14Thinking about how you're finishing

41:15Consideration

41:16When you start

41:16Yeah

41:17And then what do you think

41:19Of the second one

41:20Tracy

41:24Has made an

41:24Intarsia face

41:25With sparkly details

41:27Isaac

41:28A textured caterpillar

41:30With movable legs

41:31And Ailsa's contribution

41:33A skirt

41:34With tie-up shoes

41:36And a furry friend

41:37It does actually

41:39Make me smile

41:40The way

41:41It follows through

41:42With all the different colours

41:43This is a much

41:44Neater

41:44Overall

41:45Concept

41:46They've all gone

41:47For the same

41:48Background colour

41:49Yes

41:50And created

41:50A very uniform

41:53Wall hanging

41:54Their garter stitch

41:56At the edges

41:56There's no tension problems

41:59I mean I think that's really

42:01Beautifully executed

42:03I'm really enchanted by the face

42:06It's just a fantastic character

42:08I just love this

42:11These panels are lovely

42:13Feels

42:14All the different textures

42:15The legs move

42:16The legs move

42:17Okay

42:18Look this is cool

42:20I like that

42:21And finally we get to this section

42:23I'm practising my shoelace tie

42:26Yeah

42:26And it worked

42:27There's not as much interactive things happening

42:34There aren't really any little pouches

42:39Or surprises

42:41So Dyne Sheila have you come to a decision

42:46This week's winning wall hanging

42:50Is

42:51This one

42:56Which team worked

43:01On this one

43:02I loved it

43:04I could see

43:05A children's book

43:06Opening with this character

43:08Running all the way through it

43:10Well a huge constitulations

43:12To Isaac, Ailsa

43:13And Tracy

43:15It's now up to Dyne Sheila

43:21To decide who will be cast off

43:23Based on their performances

43:24Across both challenges

43:26What a week

43:28It's kids week

43:29Huh

43:30Who in particular

43:31Has impressed you this week?

43:33Isaac has impressed me

43:34Talking about progression

43:37From week one

43:39When he made the

43:39Rather

43:40Not great

43:42In Tarsia

43:43To this week

43:45When we saw

43:46Planet Earth

43:47Beautifully defined

43:48I loved the texture

43:49Of his Explorer jacket

43:52I just thought that was

43:53One of the best things I've seen

43:55Very special

43:57And he also came up with

43:59The cohesive element

44:00From the group challenge

44:02Absolutely

44:02Yes he's got a really clear vision

44:04I feel he's really stepped up

44:06This week

44:06Ailsa

44:08She has really interesting

44:12Quirky ideas

44:14She's bubbling

44:15With imagination

44:17Who's at risk

44:19At being cast off this week?

44:21Dipped is in danger

44:22She tried new techniques

44:26But it didn't quite work

44:27She was in the losing panel

44:30It was too confusing

44:31Too many disparate elements

44:34Simon

44:35We're coming to a crunch point

44:39And speaking about

44:41The variety of stitches

44:42I think he has used

44:43Every crochet stitch

44:44That he knows

44:45We're at that point

44:46In the competition now

44:47Simon

44:48Is not the strongest

44:50At this level

44:51Is a mace enough

44:52To take him through?

44:54I just don't know

44:55What a week it's been

44:59It's time to find out

45:00Who's knit big

45:01And whose time it is

45:02To sit on the naughty step

45:03So

45:04The big knitter

45:05This week

45:07Is Isaac

45:12Well done

45:15Well done

45:16Well done

45:16You can all join me

45:17In giving a big

45:18To Isaac

45:22Congratulations

45:22Thank you

45:23And as always

45:27This part gets tougher

45:29And tougher

45:29As the weeks go by

45:31The person

45:32Being cast off

45:34Is

45:35Dipty

45:39I knew

45:41Aww

45:42You've been so fantastic

45:45Aww

45:46I'm going to get a bit tearful

45:48Because

45:48I'm sad to be leaving

45:50I've made such a good

45:51Group of friends

45:52But

45:53I was starting to feel

45:54Out of my depth

45:55To be absolutely honest with you

45:57I'm absolutely

45:58Gassed

45:59To have this

46:00She vows

46:01Group hug

46:01You're in the middle

46:03I love her

46:03I'll be in the middle

46:05I'll do it

46:17I'm making

46:18Sunday roast

46:19It's my favourite dinner

46:20And the ultimate

46:22Textured cardigan

46:23There you go
