Saturday was a great success, on the day we had a group of 13 knitters who
completed 24 blanket squares but we had lots of other
knitters who either called in or stopped me on the street to say they will
be knitting squares for us at home so we should be able to send a big parcel
off the The Big Knitathon office. We were also able to raise £40 for the
Big Issue foundation from tea, cakes and selling vintage knitting patterns.
Across the country there were a total of 66 events with 1400 people joined
together to knit for a good cause. The Big Blanket, once sewn together,
will be displayed in various locations around the country to raise more
awareness of the big issue foundation. I will let you know if it is visiting the North East.
