Knitting is a peaceful pastime which has numerous health benefits. My book contains simple patterns.

The Blanket Book will be the first book I have ever published. It contains some simple knitting patterns that beginner knitters can follow, together with comment on the underlying therapeutic benefits that knitting and knitting groups can offer.

Finished knitting a cotton jumper for our 4 year old grandson. Where have those four years gone?

We had another lovely knitting group at Portsdown View yesterday. One of the residents who came along was 101 years old and cast on and began to knit a poppy!

Devastated when A Good Yarn, Baytree Walk, Wickham Square closed down a few weeks ago. But come along for a Closing Down Sale only on this Saturday (26 September) 10-2. There will be great bargains on the yarn, kitchen items, tables and chairs for sale.

This little chap has been named ‘Dave’ by the lady in a care home who knitted him. I finished off with his features but this is amazing considering the maker is blind and knits by feeling the stitches.

We had a lovely time at Needles and Pins Knitting Group at Cosham Baptist Church on Friday. We knit for charities or friends or ourselves! These toys went to Kids Clothesline, a local charity helping children who live in families with low income and the mice went to the Cat and Rabbit Rescue charity in nearby Siddlesham for their summer fayre. Well done Sue and Janet, lovely knitters! Everyone is welcome on the last Friday of each month 10-12.
