We have been trying to think of an event for National Knitting Week. In the past we have done knitting squares for a blanket which we raffled in aid of Breast Cancer research and had a knitting day with donations for the same charity. Anyway, this year we decided to combine an event with our usual Knitting Club night. So on Tuesday 16th October from 6-8pm at The Mount Pleasant Hotel in Great Malvern we will be having our knitting club but with Goody Bags in return for a £10 donation! We reckon the contents will be worth about £40 because our suppliers have been so generous. We will have about 30 bags which will be enough for our regular club members and for the new members we are hoping to attract. I’m sure it will be a great night with more knitting and drinking than usual in celebration of National Knitting Week!

Pat and I are off to Ally Pally at the weekend. We can just about fit a visit to the show on Sunday after shopping our socks off on Saturday! We always have a great time as we rarely have the time to spend like that normally but the shop will be in safe hands with Mary. I’m sure she will relish it after being on hols for a couple of weeks!
