| | | As a warm-up to Crafts Alive 2017 we extend to you a special invitation.
If you are an enthusiastic knitter, a budding newcomer to the craft of knitting, or just want to support a good cause, please join us on Saturday 10 June at our Knitted Knockathon in celebration of International Knitting in Public Day!
This event is organised by Dana Biddle of ColourSpun, a supplier in our market offering an incredibly wide range of natural fibre wools, yarns, threads and cottons – a “must see” for all lovers of handwork.
R85.00 buys you a kit to knit a pair of breast prostheses (knockers), and enjoy a light snack and drink of your choice. All knitted knockers, knitted from 100% cotton and stuffed with 100% jersey wool, will be donated to the Helen Joseph Hospital Breast Clinic to make the life of their patients more comfortable. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
