If you’re going to watch chess for hours, why not knit a sweater in the process? Norway's biggest newspaper VG, wanted to reach a wider audience with their online coverage of the 2014 world chess championship, and give people a way to support Magnus Carlsen. For all knitters, chess fans and everyone in between, we created a digital knitting tool on vg.no, fully integrated with the live coverage letting you knit and follow the game at the same time.
