Crafty Natters
Knitting & crocheting for charity
Next meeting: T.B.C.
The Crafty Natters group get together once a month to knit various items for worthy causes in our local area. We have made baby hats and cot blankets for the Rosie Maternity Hospital and Hinchingbrooke Hospital and twiddle muffs for dementia patients in local residential homes.
We are currently knitting squares of 6" x 6" (30 stitches on 4mm needles and knitting 30 rows). Can be any colour and any pattern. These will be made into blankets for Oxfam who sell them to festival go-ers. Total items knitted in the past year: 53 hats and 42 blankets to the Rosie 56 hats and 46 blankets to Hinchingbrooke 9 twiddlemuffs to The Manor Care Home, Cambridge 5 twiddlemuffs to Gracefields Home, Hardwick 12 twiddlemuffs, 4 shawls, 4 carves, 10 hats and 3prs gloves to Home Meadow Toft 4 twiddlemuffs to Hinchingbrooke If you have wool or bits and bobs for the twiddle muffs that you would like to donate, or if you would like to join in then get in touch. Thanks to those who have already donated wool, needles etc and to non-WI members who are knitting for us too. |
