Infi Knit
Macmillan
When people are being treated for cancer they're more likely to feel the cold. They may spend a lot of time at home during treatment or recovery, pushing up their energy bills. They often have less money coming in if they’ve had to stop working. That’s why many people with cancer are living in fuel poverty.
Inspired by the simple question 'what makes you feel warm?' - we found a simple idea to highlight the issue few realise exists.
Simply type what makes you feel warm into the site and the knit-bot will magically turn your message into a knitting pattern and add it to our ever increasing scarf.
Two live video feeds allow users to see their message knitted in real time.
With each submission acting as a message of support, the plan is for our community knitted scarf to be presented to the government so they can't ignore our campaign against fuel poverty.
Infi Knit came second in the February 2011 contest.
