67 Blankets breaks World Record!

I was out of the country on April 21st this year but this was the scene on Freedom Day in the gardens surrounding Nelson Mandela's statue in front of the Union Buildings in Pretoria.

Caroline Steyn, founder of the 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day project, set the Guinness World Record that day for the largest area covered by a blanket - 3133 square metres of handmade blankets!

But the best part is that all these blankets will soon be distributed to the needy. Congratulation to Caroline and her dedicated knitters!
