A cosy corner keeping the crafters connected
Every Tuesday resident knitters gather for their “Knit and Natter” – an opportunity to catch up and share progress on their projects.
To the rhythmical click of needles, the colourful group shares stories, patterns and support. And, the generous crafters, many of whom have been knitting for decades, love showing off their work. One dedicated resident has created numerous tiny jumpers and booties as gifts for families welcoming new babies at the local hospital, and others have been inspired to knit warm beanies to support those doing it tough as the cooler weather approaches.
The group has even taken one of our staff members under their wing, teaching her to cast on, knit, purl and even fix the occasional dropped stitch.
