...a nice closing ceremony (including a small knitted mixing desk for the GKs)

Does that really say "a small knitted mixing desk"?! How on earth can one knit a mixing desk? Enquiring minds want more details...*grin*

aunty_marion's the person you need to ask. I think the tech-desk may have been cross-stitched rather than knitted, but that's a minor detail. ;)

Actually, it was tapestry/petit-point/half cross stitch. Minor detail, indeed!

Plastic canvas is a wonderful thing for 3-D models!

It was sized to fit a pack of travel tissues, which were included.

It does say that but that's not exactly what it is.

It is possible to buy plastic frame work stuff with relatively small (1mm x 1mm? maybe 2 by 2) holes in it in a grid pattern. This was cut and tied into a box shape (with an open bottom so a box of tissues can be inserted and the tissues fed through a slit on one of the top edges) and then the mixing desk is (not sure of the right term here - not cross stitched because it's only single bits of yarn not crosses, not embroidered, but sewn in some fashion anyway (I'm sure Marion can provide the correct termsince she made it)) onto this framework.

It's very silly (in a good way!), needless to say.

Having heard Tech crews describe some of the equipment they are given to use, I think the correct term would be a darned mixing desk.
