Another great night!!

Another wonderful night of knitting and nattering was held at Grannie Annies on 17th Feb.  thankd to Phil (Carols husband) for coming and opening up for us it was very much appreciated as were the drinks.  Welcome back to Mel (Sue Dinsdale daughter) was lovely to see you again and I am glad that she left happy after learning to crochet.

I have been busy making small blankets for our local hospitals Neonatal unit and Delivery Suite apparently delivery suites are grateful for any cardigans etc as even though babies born on there may not need Neonatal care they may still be too small for any clothing brought in with mummy!


Just a selection of the blankets!!
Another knitting group will be held at Grannie Annies on Friday 2nd March 2012 from 7pm. So until then "Happy Knitting"

Crowle Knitting Club

Well what a wonderful turn out for Crowle Knitting club.  we had 3 new  members, one of which came all the way from Burton Upon Stather so a big "Hello" to Carol and also to Hazel and Lynne.  Carol of Grannie Annies provided us all with refreshments and cake :) Thank you Carol!!

I managed to do a couple of rows of a cape I was working on but I spent sometime teaching Carol P how to crochet and by the time she left she was well on the way to making a pram cover which she has said she will donate to one of the charities we have chosen to knit for and that is the Neo-Natal unit at Scunthorpe General Hospital so thank you Carol.

We are all eagerly awaiting the arrival of the yarn we won after being chosen as "Club of the Month" in the March Issue of Simply Knitting.

Happy knitting :)

What a lovely turn out tonight, well done Kelly on making your first knitted bag it is a lovely colour.  Thank you to Gary for making the drinks always service with a smile! Marion busy working on a scarf, Nichola making a hat.  Helen Conroy busy crocheting squares using up all her bits of yarn lovely colours too.

Thanks go to Sue Newell for offering to write to the Epworth Bells to advertise the group, it was nice to see Pet (Sue's husband) at the group tonight (he is a reader though not a knitter).  Unfortunately Kate couldn't make the group tonight as Jakey her dog has had to have a hernia repair carried out so "Get well soon Jakey"

Happy knitting!!!
