Crazy about knitting
Welcome to our February meeting.
During last month your knitting was sent off to The Seafarers Mission (2 big boxes),
The RUH Bath (Teddies, hearts, lap blankets), The Community Larder, Melksham
(children’s warm hats and mitts). Thank you all!
Projects for February
1) We will continue with the poppies for Melksham Town Council, there are also
other poppy knitting meet ups at the Town Hall and the Library, let us know if
you’re interested and we can give you the dates.
2) Chicks and Easter things would be lovely to help with the fundraising for the
Dyson Cancer Centre at the RUH.
3) Teddies, Twiddlemuffs and lap blankets are always appreciated by
Southmead Hospital.
4) Teddies, lap blankets, bed jackets and stuffed knitted hearts in pairs are also
needed by The RUH.
5) Operation Orphan always need big blankets, or strips to be sewn together. As
always big thanks to Marion �� for sewing up.
6) Baby cardigans up to 9 months and baby blankets are great for Spurgeons,
who work with young families in our area.
7) Lastly, our great stash buster of little Innocent hats for AgeUK Wiltshire,
supporting the elderly in our area. Here’s a reminder of their web page which
