We are a knitting group of about 30 members. We meet every Tuesday from 7.00 to 8.30 pm in the conference room within the management suite at the Glasgow Fort. We knit whilst having a coffee and a natter. New members are always warmly welcomed.Just press the buzzer and you will be let in.

Hi there,
I thought you guys would be the perfect people to ask .... what charities do you knit for? And what ones would you recommend? I am looking for things like knit for babies, elderly, etc...
We tend to find charities to knit for through the internet or magazines. Our first charity though we knitted some premature baby items and just handed them in to the local baby unit. Most baby units are more than happy to receive this sort of donation. For the elderly you could try knitting blankets and hand them into your local elderly home. Otherwise you can use specific organisations. If you google Knit-a-square charity you will find the charity we are currently knitting for. They take our knitted squares and turn them into blankets for kids. If you google teddies for tragedies you'll find another we have knitted for which collects teddy bears for orphanages.
