Swindon Stitch and Bitch Knit Winter Warmers for Swindon Circles
Back at the start of the summer, Swindon Stitch and Bitch were contacted by Dressability who had lots of yarn donated to them from John Lewis. John Lewis had given the yarn to be used for a charitable cause. Dressability is a fantastic charity that makes and alters clothes for disabled people to make off the peg clothes a better fit to wear and more manageable for people with disabilities , but they don’t really knit for charity which is why they contacted Swindon Stitch and Bitch. The knitting group were thrilled to be given yarn to knit for charity and soon knew that they wanted to knit winter warmers for the elderly. There was so much yarn that the Cirencester Library Knitters were also recruited in to help. Tracey Major said “we really felt like the elderly are under catered for in local charities and with so many elderly people having to choose between eating and heating we knew we could put the yarn to good use and wrap up the Swindon elderly in fabulous knitwear.”...
