What does the group do?
Making a cosy wrap for Premature babies is an easy way to use up odd wool you may have and helps to keep those stiffening fingers a wee bit supple. You do not have to be an ace knitter. It’s easy to knit or crochet 4 or 5 of these 3 inch squares while watching TV. It takes around 80 coloured squares sewn together to make a baby wrap and Stella is happy to sew the squares you so kindly produce.
Level of expertise
Any level
Equipment required
4mm needles and double knitting yarn.
Stella’s pattern: Cast/increase 1 at the start of every row to 20 stitches, then cast off 1 at the start of every row to the end.
Please say if you can improve on this pattern.
Meetings
This group does not hold meetings, but please bring your completed squares to the monthly Coffee Morning where Stella will collect them.
Cost
Please use up any spare wool and remains.

What does the group do?
We are a poetry appreciation group.
Meetings
We meet once a month on the third Tuesday at 2pm–4pm. Each month the group look at the life and times of a different poet to be chosen by a group member and to hear a selection of their poetry brought to the meeting by all the members. We stop for a cup of tea/coffee (50p) half way through.
MEMBERS wishing to join the group or find out more information should email the Group Leader. Please remember to include your membership number in the NAME field on the message screen.
