Knitters wrap Leigh in giant scarf

It’s a start – only 2km to go …
Hillary Austin Calder modelling the inspiration for Snugleigh.
A giant 2.5km woollen scarf will be the centrepiece of a new midwinter community event being planned for Leigh by the Foundation Art Gallery & Arts Hub – but founder Hillary Austin Calder needs a lot of knitters to make it happen.
The idea of Snugleigh, as the event has been dubbed, is to make and wrap an extra-long scarf around the triangle of land bordered by Seatoun Avenue, Cumberland Street and Hauraki Road, past the fire station, preschool, community hall, playing fields and primary school.
