Although Covid had upset our lives for some time, we were able to start back at Threads meetings in March. Under the aegis of Margaret Taylor, who seems to have a never-ending group of helpers donating wool, knitted squares, baby sets and blankets with a willing amount of people to put them all together!
We managed to send;
– Baby sets and blankets to Africa
– Hats, blankets and teddies to Ukranian refugees
– Hats, scarves, mittens and teddies to the shoe-box appeal
Closer to home, all our knitters helped provide approx 40 knitted chicks to sit atop a Creme egg, ready to distribute to the congregation on Easter Sunday. All dissappeared so we assume they were enjoyed by everyone!
We made tapestry/crochet book-marks in the shape of a cross for members on our Jubilee weekend – again all were taken.
Finally we provided a few knitted/crocheted angels to joing the Nativity tableau in the vestibule as our Christmas calendar offering. Many thanks to Margaret Harrington for her usual artistic endeavours.
Each month we have between 2 and 12 people attending the sessions and would welcome anyone interested in an afternoon of craft activities.
Many Thanks, Wyn Whitten
