Not sure about male celebrities, but Audrey Hepburn was a prolific knitter apparently and, well, if it was good enough for her then it is good enough for me…

I dont know how true Madonna knitting, because she is a bit of a spoilt child and star.  I have gone right off her recently.

One thing about celebrity knitters, they won’t have to worry about the cost of the yarn will they?

It must be soooooooo nice to be able to buy as much wool as you want when you want, in Madonnas case they probably close the wool shop especially for her !!!!  tongue laugh

I suppose the thing is they were just ‘ordinary’ people at one time, so maybe they have just carried it on, I suppose they need some stress busters as well x Janet

Me too! I read somewhere that loads of actresses knit because of all the hanging about on set.

I love that film!  I think I start crying at the “Shelby open your eyes” bit and carry on till it ends.  I love Shirley Maclaine in it.

And although it’s terrible to admit, I definitely think Tom from McFly is a celebrity.  I took James to see McFly and he refers to the other singer as his future step dad red face
