Knit and Natter

We meet in Church House on the first and second Tuesday of each month from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm.  New people are always welcome, some to learn to knit if wished. We have kindly donated wool and would like to see it made into blankets and garments. These we give to charity and one donation was to the Salvation Army which they gave to people in England.  We really do produce a lot of items in spite of plenty of ‘natter’ and laughter over our cups of tea. It is a fun afternoon so do come along.  Go to Read More to see pattern for blanket squares.
