The Bath Crafting Cranny

Knitting clock

A clock. It knits. Curiously desirable!

YARN SHOP A-COMING!!

Almost feverish with anticipation...

Wool: Bath's Premier Wool emporium...a shop that is long overdue!

[POSTSCRIPT: opens start of October!]

knitted food

Knitted food has always struck me as on oddity - but sometimes it is made with such care and beauty that it almost has me wanting to knit a cauliflower or something...

Two of the best I've seen are here and here.

Kids Company

Nicki Auf der Maur sent me some details about some charity knitting - please help if you can...

---------

We were wondering if any of your members would be interested in helping us to knit things for our “Wrap up a Kiddie” campaign?

All the children we knit (and sew) for are being supported by the London charity, Kids Company (www.kidsco.org.uk) and are growing up in very precarious conditions and circumstances indeed.

We knit scarves, hats, mittens, cardigans, jumpers, blankets of all shapes sizes and colours for them – there are children from tiny babies to teenagers being helped via Kids Company and so we can find a home for any items in virtually any size and colour!

We would also like to collect some knitting supplies to share amongst those who can knit but are not able to buy wool etc.

There is a website here with more information about the entire project (knitting and sewing):

www.sharingcolourandcomfort.webs.com

The contact for donating knitting supplies (wool, yarn, etc) is: Mrs Jackie Western [email protected]

 

The address to send finished items to is:
