Knits a Marathon

Man Knits 12-Foot Scarf While Running Kansas City Marathon


      David Babcock, a professor at the University of Central Missouri, ran the Kansas City Marathon while knitting a scarf. David isn't the first person to do this either. The biggest scarf knitted while running a marathon is 6 feet and 9 inches, done by Susie Hewer in Flora London.  There are certain precautions that need to betaken when doing this sport. The runners make sure to use plastic needles instead of real ones, just in case of an accident. Like every sport it takes practice to become good and there are rules for safety.
      This is important to know because it shows the variety of what people like to do.It is strange to see what people come up with when they have spare time. Weather they like running and knitting at the same time or they just like knitting. It also shows that there is a record for everything and sometimes there is a record for really weird things.
