It took 23 years but they knitted their entire village.
"At first sight, this looks like a classic British village.
There's a beautiful Norman church, two pubs, a shop, a school, a village hall, a huge Georgian manor house with landscaped gardens, teenagers slouched around the bus shelter and dozens of red-brick cottages with gardens in full bloom and vegetable patches bursting with cabbages, cauliflowers and sweet peas.....every inch of this village - Mersham, in Kent - has been lovingly knitted by a small group of very twinkly ladies who started 23 years ago with a couple of cottages and some pigs, and ended up creating more than 60 properties, complete with wheelie bins, outdoor loos, gas tanks, cars in the driveways and even a smart red telephone box."
Go take a look at the rest of the pictures. It's amazing.

I've been considering getting a paid account just because since I started making icons (not very well, but it can be fun) I've made more than I can use w/ a free account
