We go on our summer break immediately after Camp Bestival on Sunday 3rd August (posting to us stops for the summer on July 1st) and we will be back on September 15th. It has been another busy year so far and we can’t thank everyone enough for all your hard work, compassion and enthusiasm.
We know that many of you love a summer break project, some of you certainly need to be kept out of mischief and if you need yarn to take part, please do message us.
We are hoping this year to expand our Christmas Cwtch project. Last year we managed to send to our friends at Newcastle as usual plus the children’s ward at the Royal Marsden cancer hospital. This year, we’d love to include the teens at the Marsden and elderly care at Newcastle. Is this too much to aim for? We don’t think so. (aiming for the stars again!) We will though need to up our numbers of single bed sized blankets, and the easiest way to do this is to make squares! Obviously if you are up for a whole blanket that is truly excellent, thank you!
All crafting info for this project is here…..

Six and twelve inch squares in Stylecraft Special DK, colours as listed
