The Knit Together Group have a new project. They are knitting for the charity Lisa’s Stars.
Angel wrap & hat
Lisa’s Stars was set up in the Autumn of 2010 to make a difference to those who are unfortunate enough to lose a child prematurely. Their Founder is a lady who has sadly experienced this and felt something was massively missing from the aftercare of those babies and their parents. Lisa’s Stars initially started out as a way to support her local hospital, and her aim was to supply them with tiny blankets, hats and angel wraps so that any baby born too early would be kept warm and wrapped in love. Within three days of starting the group on Facebook, Lisa’s Stars had a website, a forum to give support to families and nearly a thousand members (now currently having over 5000 members on Facebook alone), not to mention an army of ladies loving knitting and sewing a mountain of angel clothes. More information can be found at http://www.lisasstars.org.uk/
The Knit Together Group, which meets on the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month, are knitting small blankets and tiny wraps. These will go to the Victoria Hospital, Blackpool.
New members are always welcome and also the group would appreciate any donations of knitting wool.
