He started off with his now famous Stonehenge piece (first picture) and has now completed a whopping 132 sweaters!

“There are a few locations I’ve knit but haven’t visited – yet – so I’ve had to be creative,” Barsky told Forbes.

“I haven’t been to Egypt or France so my pyramid and Eiffel Tower photos were both taken in Las Vegas at the Luxor and Paris.”
