The group meets monthly in a members' home. We are a very friendly group and welcome members of all abilities. We make items for local charities in particular:

  • The vulnerable families project – mainly children’s clothes 
  • Turning Tides (homeless) hats, gloves, blankets. scarves 
  • Local care homes, knee blankets, shawls and twiddle muffs 
  • The group responds to local appeals for items whether knitted or sewn.

Here is an example of the work the group have been doing-on the right is a picture of the twiddle muffs the group made for Creative Heart Littlehampton. They appealed for the twiddle muffs for their dementia café.
