Wool Gatherers Update

20230307 160120 thumbnailThe Wool Gatherers meet on a Tuesday morning in the Annex over coffee and a biscuit. We are a friendly bunch, knitting various projects for a number of charities.
Over the past year we have made 22 teddies and 8 baby blankets for local baby units and children’s wards, 41 fishermen hats for the seaman’s mission, 2 prayer shawls, 4 bed blankets from 6’’ squares, 270 baby hats for Wexham Park maternity unit and over 200 items for the autumn fair.
Not bad for just a dozen of us who spend more time nattering than knitting!
If you would like to support us, donations for us to purchase brightly coloured double-knit wool are always welcome. A 100g ball costs about £3 now and would knit 7or 8 squares, or lots of little hats. A baby blanket needs 16 squares. A prayer shawl costs £10 to knit.
Watch out for our new project, Chickens and Bunnies for Easter!
Anyone is always welcome to join us.
