What’s your normal reaction when someone brings you a souvenir from their holiday? Happiness? Or are you wondering if they’ll notice it disappearing into the next charity donation? Well, how about Sam Barksy’s idea to knit his way around the world?

Sam knits jumpers recording every destination he’s been to, and then posts himself wearing it online. His creations are colourful and always unique with Sam stating he never knits the same one twice.
