Knitting Group Returns 2022 and Sends Donations To Tonga
Knitting Group is back running every Thursday lunchtime in H12. It is great to see our knitting volunteers, mainly ex-staff and friends of the College, back helping our girls to learn to knit and sew squares together. We have lots of new members from Year 7 eager to learn.
Georgia D and Charlotte D spoke at Assembly on Tuesday introducing a photo slideshow video charting the history of the Knitting Group going back to its formation in 2006. This video was intended to be played last year for a special 15th celebration event that had to be cancelled due to lockdown. It was good to look back at all the girls and volunteers over the years who have contributed.
We were also able to donate several bags of completed blankets, scarves and baby items to St John’s Parish, Campbelltown, who are organising a container of goods to go to Tonga after its recent natural disaster. Thanks to Isabelle S, Emily M and Katherine W of Year 10 for packing these items. The blankets all have our ‘Handmade with love by St Patrick’s Knitting Group’ label sewn on.
If any parents or grandparents wish to knit squares for our group, our square size is 50 stitches in garter stitch (4mm needle/ size 8).
