00:00jewelry sets i've got this super tiny crochet needle before their most challenging team knit
00:07yet lace lighting it's not going to be finished lydia secured her second big knitter win it's the
00:14first time i felt something's perfect ailsa fell short there's something missing here
00:23but ultimately simon was the sixth knitter to be cast off
00:27now we've reached the semi-final and only four knitters remain and you're probably wondering
00:35why on earth i look like this well this week it's all about turning rags to riches welcome
00:44to the semi-final of game of war
00:46welcome back game of wool knitters can you believe we've gone from 10 down to just four of you in the
00:59yarn barn well that can mean only one thing it's the semi-final the tension in the yarn barn is like
01:08never before little nit and gag there for you now you might be wondering why you're looking at a
01:12mannequin covered in a bin bag well that's because for this week's group challenge dian sheila would
01:22love for you to refashion old charity shop aaron jumpers into a catwalk worthy dress
01:32yes we would like you to work in two groups of two to reimagine the iconic aaron sweater
01:45in the repurposing use existing scraps from the capperdashery we want to see something that's ready for
01:53the catwalk we will be looking very carefully at execution and finishing how you put the pieces
02:04together how you seam them how you join them and it has to fit the model perfectly well as usual dian
02:11sheila are going to have to leave the yarn barn because this challenge is judge blind so teams in team
02:19one elsa and isaac in team two holger and lydia you have 10 hours to turn your jumpers into a catwalk
02:31worthy dress let's get knitting it's the semi-final and the knitters are kicking it off with the team
02:42knit the catwalk challenge is all about standing out from the crowd and in a team of two there will be
02:48nowhere to hide semi-finals it's very intense the stakes are very very high when you think about
02:55one person is going to go you want to put your best foot forward this week
03:00first knitted over a hundred years ago off the coast of ireland the aaron jumper has become a
03:05modern knitwear hero celebrated for its complex textured stitch patterns rich in symbolic meaning
03:12we've given each team two hand knit charity shop aaron jumpers to utterly reinvent from the cozy to the
03:20couture there we go oh god no the haberdashery has been freshly stocked with offcuts and scraps
03:33available for them to knit into their catwalk pieces oh look at that that's perfect this could be
03:39interesting you only get one chance to impress on the runway so the knitters must showcase
03:46innovative design skills confident garment construction and a perfect fit to create a
03:52high fashion dress all in just 10 hours 10 hours isn't a lot of time it's a different one yeah i'm worried
03:59refashioned charity jumpers what was the inspiration behind this challenge waste is a massive issue when
04:11somebody has knitted a beautiful aaron sweater and it's gone maybe a little bit past its date you can
04:18actually repurpose and make it something incredibly fashionable chic even and that wool garment has got
04:26another life we really want to see the aaron as the star of the show one of these knitters is not going
04:33to make it to our final what could go wrong in this challenge design is going to be huge here we want to see
04:43not just how they join pre-knitted pieces together but we want to see what they're adding in
04:50themselves this will take a certain amount of boldness and bravery we have four really great knitters
04:59now i really want to see that everybody has found their voice and being able to put their design ideas
05:07into this piece any first thoughts isaac yeah i i yeah we could take the sleeves out take the neck off
05:22and just do sort of like a halter net i think both of us really like this color we could just go down
05:27the raglan seams do like an eye cord edge in that same color that was the only thing i had and then
05:34everything from down i'm like miss me i have no ideas what were you thinking of the skirt at the
05:40front it could be like a mini skirt long at the back short at the front like a kind of tinkerbell
05:46type kind of jaggy shapes so her legs are out at the front but then she's got this kind of floaty
05:52thing going on at the back okay okay
05:55ailsa and isaac plan to remove the arms from both jumpers using the bodies to create the top
06:04and bottom panels of their dress isaac will tackle the top and plans to knit a new ribbed halter neck
06:10and crochet a lace corset into the back ailsa will focus on the bottom half creating a tinkerbell
06:17skirt with aaron strips of material and over embroidering extra detailing using a yarn winder they
06:24will unravel purple yarn from haberdashery offcuts to create one cohesive color scheme
06:30ailsa and i have been in a team together before the ability and the talent is so high but i also
06:36think that we're relatively equally matched so it is really just going to come down to the small details
06:42while isaac and ailsa are preserving the original shape of the jumper as a dress holger is ripping up the
06:49rule book it could theoretically take the front piece and make it into a giant sleeve yeah i think
06:55it would be quite nice if we could have these literally start going all the way down but we
07:00i think also you could this could could be set in like a godet massive skirt like you know big sleeve
07:06or something yeah okay yeah i think fitted is important i don't want it just to be like oversized okay
07:13the front and back panels will be transformed into two balloon sleeves and blanket off cuts from the
07:22haberdashery will form the body of their dress the original jumper sleeves will then become the bottom
07:28half of the dress with newly knitted godets inserted triangular panels adding volume and flare
07:35i hope they'll appreciate the creative use of the pieces that we have we're going to divide and conquer
07:40i think it's very clear that holger is a stronger sewer than me and that is totally fine but i am
07:45a faster knitter than holger this looks like a finished dress you've been throwing stuff at it
07:52but whose idea was to put all of these in these places look holger's holger came up with the sleeve
08:00i wanted a fitted item let's not kind of tally who does what here um we're just all doing our best
08:07so what you're trying to say is that it's a collaborative event holger has more of a design
08:11background than me so i'm happy to take more of his lead in terms of initial vision but actually when
08:18it comes to what we finally decide to do i'm not just going to go yes holger sure holger like it's
08:23going to be both of what we decide okay do you have a name for your dress yet no i've got a couple of
08:30ideas oh god yeah i was i was afraid i was gonna come cape blanket oh for god thank sleeve and fry
08:44have you ever made a dress fit for the catwalk before never made a dress before you've made anything
08:48fit for a catwalk oh that's not true this is the mini skirt part ending here and then the back will
08:57be longer where all our wee bits will be trailing i can see on there it looks like some kind of like
09:03peacock yeah business in the front part in the back yeah i like that so you're planning on unwinding
09:09that one then is it it's just a really nice yarn having the sort of unity by using the same color
09:16in multiple places across the whole thing is going to make unraveling these worth it
09:20i don't understand why he's taking he's taking these and unraveling it's like why why um to secure
09:29my spot in final i've got really pull out all the stops now i think i'm onto a winner with this
09:33strand oh here we go i'll cut let's see some winding
09:38okay yes oh this is amazing
09:50how you doing over there plod non how are you just beavering away
10:06lydia is now working on the balloon sleeves carefully picking up live stitches from the
10:11original front of the jumper to create a new tight cuff this piece here was actually the back of the
10:18jumper but managing the stitch pickup matching the tension and ensuring a seamless blend from aaron
10:24jumper into new knit won't be easy you've got this billowy sleeve that's being created by this
10:29piece of ribbing here so i've picked up stitches to pull this in tighter it's gone from that width
10:36to this width
10:40it is so close now i really want to get to the final it's like we've come this far i know i've put
10:46my best foot forward i think winning would give me opportunities whether that be with our yarn
10:53business doing more designing or maybe i'm on the trajectory of alison hammond like that would be
10:59fantastic wouldn't it
11:06you don't know maybe our maybe tom needs a co-host and maybe it's me
11:10knitters you're halfway through five hours to go
11:19at the halfway point knitters should be starting to reassemble their aaron knits into couture catwalk
11:25pieces she's looking like something isn't it
11:27she's looking like something
11:28it's not the other one
11:34not really
11:35it's very very different oh that's clever what they've done with the arms yeah that is cool
11:39i'm liking that traditional adding
11:48i'm now thinking maybe better just ditch the strips and the roughly bits at the back
11:53because this is centered and it would be a shame to lose that yeah I don't know
12:01what's your thoughts I trust your vision yep
12:14it's the semi-final and the knitters are over halfway through the team challenge
12:19reinventing the iconic Aaron jumper into a runway ready star Holger is carefully sewing
12:27the Aaron panels into the blanket body of their dress I am attaching the second sleeve into the
12:33armhole there's still quite a bit of sewing to do while on the other team Isaac has knitted a
12:38new purple neckline using the off-cut yarn he created earlier I'm just casting off the ribs
12:44next I think is it is looking great she's a whole to name right with only four knitters left the
12:50judges will be scrutinizing individual contributions in the team knit more than ever so the halter
12:56neck was my idea and the sort of like skirt and bottom section was Elsa's idea we've got a good
13:01combination between the two of us Holger is a stronger server but I am a faster knitter let's
13:06be real if I wasn't part of the team there probably wouldn't be a finished garment right
13:10Lydia and Holger where are we getting there so you're making another panel yes I see you pulled
13:18out the colors like this kind of mimics yes yes yeah Lydia obviously makes up for my slow as
13:24knitting by kind of whizzing through with her clickety-clack of needles there okay okay
13:31those go day panels flank the main okay good so when you say go day it's very simple a go day is
13:41more or less triangular shaped piece that is insert into the body of a skirt to create extra width go day
13:49go day go day mate I said can they also how's it going so I'm just doing like a little corset lace
14:02thing at the back is just an additional feature that we've added on top of the Aaron oh okay how's the
14:08party in the back coming along it's a different kind of party a different kind of party it's a more
14:14sophisticated party now yeah oh yeah we had a bit of a chat about the the strips and the ruffly
14:20bits at the back and thought we need to get it absolutely perfect or not at all you think it's
14:26quite a big risk to change your plan this late in the game I know feeling nervous or are you feeling
14:33confident feeling confident yeah I'm always nervous knitters you have one hour to go
14:44in the final hour teams must fit their catwalk creations to the live models yay models the
14:54sleeves I mean it's a dress oh my gosh I think the back looks amazing can you turn around to show
15:01Lydia wow yeah that looks great oh no oh no is it too tight I'm not so happy with the way that the
15:11back piece is setting thank you I mean we could force it by sewing it on like that and it'll force
15:24it to sort of like stand out a bit you like we could try that or yeah I'm sewing in the second go
15:33do we both need to be setting right now so okay we've just got to get these on but literally speed
15:40sewing for our lives right now why does the thread always come unfreaded when you have no time breathe
15:46Holger breathe if we could just have you step back into it now is it tighter yeah a little a little
15:54sort of cape yeah one minute we got one minute your hair I'm so sorry knitters needles down the
16:11challenge is over it's time to get those Aaron jumpers on the catwalk okay attitude right yeah good good
16:21Isaac and Elsa's approach was obviously very different from ours which it makes it unpredictable
16:29I think particularly as the group has gotten smaller your individual contribution in the group
16:35challenge could be the difference between staying and going so yeah it's intense
16:38well done knitters Aaron you glad that one's oh my gosh so let the knit way begin
16:49what do you think of the first one
16:53well we asked for Aaron didn't we and we asked for fit and fit so this is one garment and this isn't from
17:18another garment and they've used that shaping really well round the back using another sample of knitwear the
17:26contrast color works particularly in certain places also this newly created crochet edge gives amazing fit
17:36because it can be laced yeah onto the body mm-hmm great it's really really great that top is really really
17:45successful with this very nice single rib neck cuff
17:52it looks a little bit bulky in a couple of places the ruches out doesn't it does it's
18:04I was coming out because you have too many stitches mm-hmm yep I'm less sure about these wings
18:11very obvious stitching you know if you're going to do kind of sewing and adding things in when it gets
18:21to the catwalk level it has to be really really precise this sewing an edge doesn't work catwalk pieces
18:30have to have impact yes you have one chance on the runway to really say something and I think it
18:38just needed to be a little bit more wow well impact impact yeah thank you very much you ready for the next
18:46I love this I think it's really really great the sleeves here I'm imagining might have been the
19:16original back and front taking the sleeves and making them into the body taking the body and
19:21making them into the sleeves is is very clever yeah the sleeves add this huge drama the shape is really
19:31good you've had to go from a huge number of stitches they have to bring them all in to a much much smaller
19:39number of stitches so that this works as a cuff we can see the Aaron is amplified by having strong
19:47colored go days for it to be offset with it's a lovely piece of knitting when the model walks the thing
19:59that you see is the Aaron sweeping up the catwalk I love the way the Aaron's been used it's making its own
20:05repurpose statement which is what we asked for Aaron repurposed okay Diane Sheila it's time to make your
20:20decision in first place this week is this dress here can I ask who made it it was me it was us us too so
20:35we felt this dress had the impact for the catwalk who knitted all the go days I knitted most of them
20:42but I did one I did one so Ilsa and Isaac some of the finishing we felt wasn't what we expect in
20:52semi-final week well let's see what the solo challenge has in store for us I mean we all know
21:01what the game is about when the solution challenge comes is every every man or woman for themselves it
21:06is so close now I really want to get to the final what semi-final we've had so far and only our solo
21:18knits are standing in the way of the game of wool final not winning in the group challenge at this
21:26stage in the competition puts you in a really really precarious situation we'll need to really hit hard
21:31with the solos okay knitters it's time for the solo challenge Diane Sheila would love for you to make
21:40a refashioned bag we want you to make a bag but the important thing is the material and we want you to
21:52repurpose your material to make into a yarn the fabric that you have chosen has to work effectively
22:00as a yarn no matter what it originally was so we will still be looking for structure and stitch choices
22:09and finally practicality it has to function as a bag with a place in the final at stake you have 10 hours
22:22for this challenge let's get knitting for the solo challenge the judges are expecting to see exquisite
22:33and uniquely handcrafted bags made from unexpected fabrics I'm using running leggings and gym tights
22:39if it can handle people doing squats in them then they can handle your shopping this challenge will
22:47test the knitters yarn selection stitch precision and structural ingenuity pushing their skills to the
22:54limit in the last chance to secure themselves a place in the final I'm absolutely going to go into
23:00this fighting I I really want to go to the finals
23:05knitters are free to crochet or knit their bags but the first step is to create the yarn by cutting any
23:12material they want into long strips next they should construct the bags by either working in the round
23:18or by assembling individual panels which will be sewn together finally knitters must securely attach
23:25handles or straps to ensure their upcycled bag passes the judges weight test
23:32refashioned handbags what inspired that challenge the thing that is really challenging about this is
23:38actually the material we really wanted to see what people could do with their own form of yarn we want
23:46them to consider a shape a form I think how they manage their handles is going to be a really big challenge
23:58with the team knit win in the bag holger has now got his sights on a record-breaking third sheet badge
24:05i am cutting up a bunch of t-shirts i've chosen t-shirts because it makes a very clean stitch definition what
24:13we're ending up with in terms of the overlook is something that's a bit more bohemian kind of festivally
24:20holger will be transforming a selection of t-shirts into a festival saddlebag
24:25his construction incorporates a combination of slip stitch single half double and double crochet
24:32stitches to give it a chic scalloped look while maintaining structural integrity he's also planning
24:38a shoulder strap a bespoke crochet button and decorative fringing glastonbury we're coming for you
24:46to be honest i'm not a great festival goer so i don't really know what you need to take
24:50i know i look surprised um but whatever you need it will fit in there
24:57elsa hello it's good to see that you separate your darts and your lights your laundry
25:01yeah so what have we got here we've got like leggings yeah these are a mixture me my mom and my
25:10sister's gym leggings okay do you all go to the gym together as a family no no okay okay so why these
25:18well my design is an active bag for active people made from things that active people wear okay it
25:26was one world or two pattern i seen to make slippers from old stockings or tights so that's what made me
25:32think it's got to be tights elsa has raided her family's laundry basket for her variety of super
25:40stretchy yarn she will crochet her active bag alternating between double and treble crochet stitches
25:46to create a solid base finally she will add a shoulder strap and a water bottle pocket feel
25:53the burn baby so how are you feeling after the the group challenge i'm feeling all right after the
25:59group challenge holger and lydia's design was something special how are you feeling about the
26:05possibility of someone being cast off in this group all i can do is my best and hope that the judges
26:10like what they see so you've decided to crochet yeah yeah i think with this material i've got to be
26:16quite conscious because i don't want it to stretch too much so i've got to take some of the stretch
26:22with me okay as i crochet and i think it's easier for me to adjust my crochet tension than my knitting
26:27tension sure well it's in the hands of dying sheila now isn't it yep the knitting gods
26:32also hoping those knitting gods will be looking down favorably on her is lydia she is upcycling
26:40wax print fabric for her bag a traditional african material known for its bold and vibrant patterns
26:47dresses hats you can make anything in wax print as i'm trying to show you right now with my bag but
26:54using this fabric as yarn is tricky because the stiff cotton has no stretch honestly knitting with
27:00this is a full body workout it is flipping hard work lydia's traditional wax print bag will be knit
27:09in the round using the linen stitch which creates a beautiful woven look but because of its density
27:15it takes longer to knit she will crochet around plastic rings to give her bag handles
27:23because i'm slipping every other stitch in the linen stitch i'm essentially doing each row twice
27:28so it grows really slowly so it's not going to be huge but it's definitely more like a handle top
27:33bag i would like to think i'm in with a chance to win big knitter this week but i don't think i'm
27:39the only one in with a chance so we'll just see which way the judges go two hours into the challenge
27:49and the knitters should be well into the body of their bags but isaac is still meticulously creating
27:55his yarn once i've finished the cups on this t-shirt it will unravel into one long strip i'm using
28:03scissors which may be a little slower going but achieving precision in the finished product is all
28:11in the working isaac what's the plan my bag is designed to look like a mint humbug i'm calling
28:19it a humbag a humbag isaac is using a combination of black and white t-shirts to create his humbag
28:28he will knit the bag in panels of striped stocking stitch and then crochet around hair curlers for his
28:33handles finishing with a zip and after impressing with last week's lace he is planning to elevate
28:39his humbag with a delicate lace crochet for the wrapper my grandma always used to have a bag of mint
28:47humbugs that she would share out with people i grew up not far from my grandparents you know during
28:53the school holidays they used to look after me and i didn't know this until after she died but she used
28:57to crochet um and actually we found a pattern that she had been working on made of some lace and so
29:04the decorative wrappers on my bag are actually going to be that same lace pattern oh that's really nice
29:10i'm kind of at a point in my life where the world is my oyster so
29:14this competition is just something that i can use to grow from i didn't go into this expecting to get
29:21on the show in the first place to get this far to win would just be gravy but i know my grandma she
29:28would have been proud of me regardless of what i produced yeah i know she's up there looking down
29:32on me being like come on get to the final with a place in the final up for grabs the judges are
29:41planning a rigorous weight test so knitters must consider strength as well as style
29:48how is that knitting up is it quite a struggle it's not the funnest thing to knit with no the goal
29:54for my bag sort of was to make it look woven so i'm doing the linen stitch yes i love linen stitch
29:59in weave you have lines going in both directions they're firm they do not give
30:08this actually gives you lines going in both directions in the same way
30:12and that creates strength yeah it's a really good stitch for bag material
30:23hello hi holger so what are you doing this is where we are at the moment the way this is constructed
30:28you're starting with very small stitches like slip stitches then you do single crochet half double
30:34double crochet you can see that v that forms here this is because the stitches in the center are taller
30:39than the stitches on the outside can i have a feel of course thank you great love the idea of that
30:47so when we get something heavy in this it will not do a deck chair on us no it's not going to do a deck
30:52chair this structure will actually help that won't it and what's going to go there there's going to be
30:58a crochet button oh well i'm very glad to hear that i said why not give it to you
31:05i've come into this to make it as far as i can the main thing for me is i want to enjoy this whole
31:14process i lost my last job just when the pandemic started and then my dad started to get less well
31:22because i wasn't working i decided to move back and look after him me and my life and everything was
31:28completely on hold so i was there for him which is absolutely fine because he's my he was my dad um
31:38but i felt after he passed and i came back to the uk i felt not only do i need to rebuild my life a
31:44little bit but also make this about myself and when i saw the casting call i thought you know what
31:51you can do something that you actually just indulge him
32:00painstakingly cutting his strips of yarn has taken isaac much longer than he anticipated
32:06this is taking so long so he's now at least three hours behind i still need to connect the two of them
32:12and i also need to do the handles and the lace on the side so i have like quite a bit to go
32:17isaac's failure to finish has come under scrutiny before so it's imperative he stays on track with
32:23this challenge yeah i think i think time's probably my biggest enemy
32:30hi ilsa what are you doing i'm making a gym bag from gym leggings oh
32:36in terms of holding the weight you're sure you've done your research you've done your homework as i'm
32:47going i'm trying to take stretch out of it by adjusting my tension to try and keep it even okay
32:58holger do you mind taking wee tom out there please he's got a message for you
33:02hezi where is it you're halfway through the challenge oh knitters you are halfway through
33:08the bag challenge at the halfway mark knitters should be starting to complete the body of the
33:15bags and working up the straps handles and finishing touches i'm happy with how it's coming together but
33:21my god it is hard work having nightmares about you like how to stabilize the bag i was like i may have
33:29to start cutting into my own trousers to get some strength into this thing please don't cut into
33:34your trousers wee sad school boy leaving the barn this competition is quite tough i feel like the first
33:44half i'd been given a few high ranks been given the first sheep i was feeling quite confident but then
33:51from week four kids week i was like hmm every week since then i've had a bit more doubt over how
33:58well i'm doing at this stage in the competition the pressure is definitely on it is quite daunting
34:10looking for a darning needle that's big enough to put my tights through so that i can get the pockets on
34:16i'm trying not to feel defeated i'm rattled i think that's me i think that's me a goner
34:28it's the semi-final and the knitters are over halfway through their solo challenge
34:33upcycling unusual fabrics into show-stopping bags
34:37i think the biggest workout these leggings have seen is this one
34:44it's quite tough to use good job there's a five-time olympian on hand do you think we
34:49should do some hand yoga oh god stretch them out to the side touch your head shoulders knees
34:57in the final stages of the challenge knitters should be attaching handles or straps strong
35:08enough to withstand the judge's weight test but while some are reinforcing with structural elements
35:13i'm going to be using these as the handles i need to crochet into the bag around the handle to secure it
35:19in i'm doing the shoulder strap i'm crocheting over a core because this has no stretch whatsoever
35:25there would be nothing worse than diana picking up the bag and the handle falls off
35:29ailsa is hoping the strength of stitches alone will pass the test if i make my tension really
35:36tight i can take the stretch out of it it's a stretchy fabric that seems like such a stupid decision
35:41now i think i'm on a sugaly peg a sugaly peg just means that my position is not secure knitters we
35:54have one hour to go until we find out whether you have designer bags or bags for life pressure is on
36:02with one hour to go knitters should be moving on to the final flourishes you're putting on the button
36:07the button was the last bit that was crocheted how much more have you got left to do the fringing
36:12and the lining you're lining it i'm trying to i just need to do my handles now it's not looking
36:20likely that i'll get any lace on with less than an hour remaining isaac is sacrificing his humbug
36:27wrappers i'm feeling disappointed that i'm not going to get to do the lace that my grandma had done
36:31i've once again messed up my time this is something that i'm known for i'm just adding my little
36:40water bottle slot at the side just to add another wee bit what am i doing that's a lost cause i don't
36:48think there's anything to lose by trying it and if it looks awful rip it out which it does anyway no
36:53that is not that is not what we're saying right now it's what i'm certainly thinking
36:58i'm on my second handle i've hit my peak with this i just want to stop i'm so close to the end
37:04i'm so close to the end but i just want to stop i'm literally just cringing and it is just strips
37:11of fabric that are being pulled through i don't know why my zip's gone where it is
37:20actually no handle's more important sorry it's a bag with secure handles feeling good and i think
37:27that's where we're going to leave this wow hold it up there you go wow that's a bag knitters your time
37:36is up even in its full glory i don't think my bag is super attractive after 10 hours that's four
37:45refashioned bags in the bag feeling cautiously optimistic i've done everything i can do i really
37:53just ran out of time like that's all it was it doesn't have a closure it doesn't have the features
37:57that i was planning on putting on it it's not clean it's bad it's really bad
38:04well done knitters it's now time for di and sheila to try out your bag so first up we have lydia
38:10ah this is strong amazingly strong fabric you're using a linen stitch which you're probably regretting
38:30at this point but it does give a look of a woven bag which is really nice
38:36and of course everything is built from the base and you've integrated the handles into this for
38:44strength quite a nice fashion accessory i think we're ready for the weight test
38:49can we have some weights tom yes you may so here i have two balls of yarn that weigh one kilo each
38:56so you've got a two kilogram weight test here we go in they go
38:59that's held very well hasn't it it did hold well the handles it didn't move thank you very much
39:10lydia thank you next up holger
39:19it's a very lovely bag with a feeling of luxury to it i do really like this shape really interesting
39:26lovely shape and this construction is like a scallop yeah the shell here and here
39:37ah a bubble a bubble a proper bubble button yes very happy to see that yes
39:46so this has given it incredible strength hasn't it which is actually a really good idea to use a woven
39:52fabric inside so you don't get that stretch and i like the tassels a bit of flamboyance and a bit of
40:01fun fun and you've lined it yeah it's good to have a lining i think it needs the weight test
40:09that's really not bad thank you very much holger thank you next up we have elsa
40:28oh
40:28so this idea came from the repurposing of tights yeah that's a really nice concept and idea to take
40:39through to a sports bag we very much like the circularity of where it came from and what it ended
40:48up being used for the construction hasn't quite worked it is quite tricky working with the fabric
40:57that you chose and i think all those variations from the different pairs of leggings has given you
41:03quite a trouble in keeping that uniformity are you ready for the weight test here we go one and two
41:14i think it might be better if we pull up it needs that double handle thank you very much elsa isaac
41:29so it's a great idea the humbag you were going to create a little lace for some wrappers yeah just
41:43ran out of time didn't make it no also your original idea for the fastening yeah it was it was a zip but
41:52it was as it didn't have time not being able to put the zip in yeah and insert the lace has had an
42:00impact on the design definitely we don't get to see the sides coming together it sits open was it just
42:08that it took so long to manipulate just the creating the yarn i think i vastly underestimated how long it
42:14was taking me which is a shame do you think we should try the ultimate test here we come tom okay see here we go
42:27that's pretty good so a shame it didn't get finished yeah
42:34thank you very much isaac thank you
42:36well the knitters you really pulled it out of the bag there and for one of you victory is in the bag
42:44it is now time for me to take di and sheila into the situation room to see who has bagged a place in
42:51the game of wool final i'd flip enough to be the first person to get three badges that would be amazing
42:59i would feel it probably comes down to between lydia and me i can't really call it
43:07i'm definitely a risk of going home i think it'd be foolish to think that i wasn't at risk of going
43:11home there's a huge chance and a huge possibility that it'll be me saying goodbye today
43:19this week has been wild it's really getting close to the wire now who stood out for you
43:24so lydia and holger
43:32the long dress with the enormous sleeves it was pretty amazing the design for that dress
43:38was mainly i mean holger and lydia worked on it but holger was very much responsible for
43:43how it all came together but do you think that he was really able to show off his skills in that
43:47challenge i do yeah and they've done really well in the bag challenge yes both of them have done
43:52extremely well very strong so we have two people not performing as well in both challenges ailsa
44:08she seemed to have lost that sparkling design element that she puts into things
44:13she kind of just lost her way isaac
44:19his bag was completely unfinished by semi-final week we really do expect everyone to have finished
44:26their projects yeah so hard have you made a decision yes
44:35well knitters it's now time to find out who has knit big this week and guaranteed themselves a place in the final
44:51the big knitter this week is
