Knitted Synchronised Swimmers

Spotted and shared by Steve aka Lazy B who says, “A mystery knitter has produced an Olympic themed work on the pier in Saltburn-by-the-Sea near Teesside. The 50 metre ‘scarf’ is attached to the handrail and features participants in various Olympic sports.”

Is the identity of the mystery knitter still a mystery?
