The Knitting Must Go On [April 2020]
Members of CCRA’s Knit and Natter Group are carrying on producing their charity knits during this time of lock down. Once this period of isolation is over we will be delivering funky storks to the London Ambulance Service and blankets to the Queen Elizabeth Neo-natal unit. Sadly the bunnies, knitted for the Easter premature babies, will have to keep till next year.
Wool has been put out in a front garden for knitters to replenish their stocks. Like in war time…the nation’s knitters never stop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Knit and Natter group is for anyone who is interested in crafting. Whilst we specialise in charity knits anyone can bring along a project.  The group is sponsored by Rowan Wool who have provided us with a great selection of wonderful yarns. These have been turned into knits for the QE hospital’s neo-natal unit,

Fiddle mufflers knitted by the group

the Age UK Innocent Smoothie campaign and other worthy causes.  Whether an expert knitter or a real beginner you will be welcomed to the group.

If you don’t want to craft then come along for some excellent nattering and a great brew accompanied by dainty morsels.  The group meets once a month to swop ideas and learn new skills.
All sessions are Tuesdays 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm in St Richard’s Hall, Swallowfield Road, SE7 7NS.
Sessions for 2020: 21st Jan, 25 Feb, 31 March, 21 April, 26 May, 30 June, 28 July, 29 Sept, 27 Oct, 24 Nov, 15 Dec.
