​Every Little (Square) Helps……
​
The Knitting Group had a wonderful display of knitted blankets on show recently. An amazing 54 beautiful blankets were created from all the knitted squares you donated during the year (approximately 5,000). The blankets will be donated to the elderly and infirm in our local community and also to homeless hostels in Aberdeen and Shire.
Have a look at the photos in our Gallery.
The Knitting Group is having a break over the Festive Season and will re-start in late January.
