Two makers, Nic & Barbara, visited Team GB women's water polo team at their training venue, taking along British wool cushions for them all. This team already has a very special set of hand knitted water polo dolls, so we knew they would appreciate knitted cushions.
The team took some lovely photos of themselves holding their chosen cushions.
