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.

Finally, this page wouldn't really be complete without a photograph of the knitted women's water polo team
