STITCHES OF HOPE
It is with heavy hearts we must inform you that our Stitches of Hope Project, which has provided warmth and comfort for those in need for 30 years, must sadly come to an end.
It is with deep regret that we have to inform all those amongst you who have faithfully knitted and crocheted for us over the years, that the last week for receipt of knitting will be week commencing 18 November. After that we can sadly no longer accept your beautiful items.
We have found some other groups who will take your knitting and we hope that you will find a new home for your fabulous items.
Knit for Peace is a nationwide group who match your knits to good causes. On their website they have a 26 page list of local drop off points, as well as a list of other charities who you can donate directly to. They can be found at Knit For Peace – We match knitters with good causes!
Dear Trish and Val,
I shall be sending you another parcel of knitted squares and 4 jumpers and hats, and a pair of gloves.
I can't tell you what knitting has done to some of our members. The lady who has knitted the jumpers is 92! It keeps me out of mischief" she said.
It has also helped those who have recently been widowed and they say it keeps them busy not just sitting and thinking. We now have a splitter group that meets up at a members house for a knit and natter.
So a big thank you for taking all our knitting - even if some of the squares are different sizes!
