Knit & natter

They each take on different jobs that play to their strengths. As Nina says, “Some of us aren’t super crocheters or knitters but we may be excellent at procuring bits and pieces (aka begging for free stuff!).”

The club has been fantastic for the members in many ways – they’ve made really positive new friendships and also learned new techniques. But Nina says, “our greatest delight and vÕ!w!!"i#Ì$V%"iÃ$vÀ%"$Ì&i$Ài>VÌ'%#Ã$%v$ our community and those near and far who travel through. We just love to make people smile and wonder.”

If they had to sum up the group in a few words, it would have to be, “mad, bad and dangerous to know!” Nina says. “Lady Caroline Lamb summed us up right there! We are a herd of a different colour.”
