When I was growing up, I always had a drive to be creative and design and make
0:08
And I think that was from mum constantly encouraging us with the leftover loo roll tubes and
0:13
washing up bottles to create and build. Because when you're faced with building something that big, there's also got to be usable
0:29
There's a few design thoughts had to be in there, like practicalities, weight, strength
0:34
I did quite a lot of research. How big is the biggest wooden post I can buy
0:39
How heavy it would be? Way heavy than I'd be able to pick up by myself
0:43
So I scrapped that idea and kept rethinking, re-drawing, redesigning. I mean, the shape of a knitting needle is not complex
0:55
When I unveiled the needles, I think I was quite pleased to see
0:58
A lot of people, they stopped and they looked, which is well for a positive reason is a nice thing It nice to see people actually take a second out out their day to go what going on over there And then people start coming over and asking and talking and smiling and laughing
1:16
And they were all very positive reactions. I don't consider myself that special
1:38
I just like doing things and the fact that, you know, it's recognized to be the biggest in the world is nice
1:45
It's really nice. Everyone's got potential
1:57
We've got the choice of do we push ourselves to reach the top of that or not
2:04
There's nothing, nothing can stop anyone, I don't think. Give it a go, what's the worst that can happen
2:11
They end up stuck with two very big sticks
