Members of Southern Clevedon WI are marking their birthday with a challenge that will spread some warmth to others, during the cold winter nights.
The women decided to combine their knitting, sewing and crochet skills in order to make 33 items for charity, to celebrate the group’s 33rd birthday which is in March 2021.
Using their stash of yarn, members have knitted hats for premature babies; baby cardigans, scarves and baby blankets for SANDS (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society); plus mini teddy bears and woolly hats for the Seafarer’s Mission in Avonmouth.
Southern Clevedon WI press officer, Wendy Clegg, said: “The target of 33 items has already been reached but members are continuing to make as many items as they can.
"This winter challenge will keep members busy for the next few months.”
