SUTAB CHARITY KNIT

SQUARE UP 2 A BLANKET

by

SASSYGAEL and the WOOLLYWAGS

After some discussion we decided it might be fun to bring the community together in some way, get people knitting or crocheting in some way and came up with this title. It will consist of folk knitting squares or whatever they want, donate it to us, and at the same time donate a few pennies into our extra large bottle. well it's not really ours it has been loaned to us by the manager of The Isle of Harris Inn, where we are kicking of our charity marathon, this happens on 13th June WWKIP day, so we want to see as many folk as possible on the day, We will sew up the squares and they will be donated to Blythswood, who are an organisation which sends relief blankets to countrys that need them etc..... And what is in the bottle will be split between 2 local charity's, the first being Crossroads Harris, this is another charity that helps let a carer out for the day by putting one of their lovely ladies into the family home and taking care of the person who needs it while the full time carer gets a well earned rest where they don't have any worries for a few hours. And the 2nd charity is Bethesda Hospice in Stornoway, isle of Lewis, this hospice depends on charity fundraising so a worthwhile cause.this is the start of my first square, using 5dpns (which I have never done before) but working out for me.

More info will follow and more photos as we go.

On the 20th of June, there will be a flea market in Scalpay Community Centre, with the usual stallholders and SassyGael and the Woollywags are also having refreshments in aid of our 2 chosen charity's so that will be fun we hope many people will turn out and get your soup and rolls......Me I'm making homemade scones and I'm sure a few wee cakes...
