Last year we knitted this huge patchwork blanket which we donated to the East Cheshire Hospice.
It was a real team effort with everyone knitting squares in their spare time. I say everyone but my attempt at knitting but was pretty hopeless, as you can see my square was not very erm square!!!
My little square still got included though, think they felt sorry for it (or me). So, instead I offered to sew the patches together, and then one of the ladies finished it off with the crochet edge. I think secretly we each wanted to keep it and were sad to part with it, but hopefully it is now making somebody very happy!
We are currently helping one of our members make
