Knit and Natter at your local library

25 May 2023 ARCHIVED (over 3 months old) - view latest news

Did you know that lots of our libraries have Knit and Natter groups or craft groups that take place regularly.

To support Dementia Action Week members of Cramlington library have been Knit ’n’ Nattering away to create “twiddle-muffs”.  The special muffs have tactile objects attached, such as buttons, beads, toggles and ribbons to go to hospitals, care homes and individuals to keep their hands – and minds busy. Meanwhile at Ashington Library members have been knitting blankets, jackets and bonnets for premature babies, they are going to the maternity and NICU at Cramlington Hospital.
