3,083 WI members knitted their way into the Guinness Book of World Records in May during the NFWI AGM at the Royal Albert Hall, London, by breaking the record for the most people knitting simultaneously for fifteen minutes to celebrate traditional craft skills.
The record attempt was undertaken with support from the Crafts Council and the UK Hand Knitting Association to commemorate the Crafts Club initiative, and saw members attending the AGM taking part in 15 minutes of dedicated knitting following a pattern promoted through the WI membership magazine WI Life. Members knitted individual loops that were joined together to form one long chain; representing the links formed by individual WI members throughout the UK.

This is what they did with some of the knitting - formed an anchor for this display.
What I want to know is - then what was it used for or did they just store the anchor for another event!!
