Stitch and Bitch went well last night, back in the Wool and Willow shop.
Joyce has been contacted by someone from Great Ormond Street Hospital. Last year, teams of knitters created a twenty five foot high knitted Christmas tree, which was exhibited around the country to raise money for the hospital and for a hospice in North Devon. This year, they want to create a full sized gingerbread house, with all the furnishings. As we are a Welsh group of knitters, they approached us to ask if we would knit a Welsh dresser for them.
Having looked at the instructions, and ascertained that it all had to be hand knitting, Joyce realised that there wouldn't be time for us to do the whole thing ourselves, so she asked the group if anyone was prepared to do the smaller sections, and got a couple of volunteers straight away. The finished house will be exhibited at the Wonderwool exhibition at the Royal Welsh Showground in May, and knitters who contribute to it will get free tickets.
