Today's rain and drizzle is perfect weather to snuggle up with balls of wool!
Here's hoping there are plenty of knitting needles click clacking away today and over the upcoming holidays to create blankets for the Piggly Wiggly Blanket Drive.
And there is a carrot... Every Wednesday until mid-May, you are invited to join a gathering of yarn crafters at Piggly Wiggly Coffee Shop ... Complete 3 squares to earn a free coffee.
Thank you to local stained glass artist, Gill Pryke for driving this initiative. To Kobie Venter and Ansie Oedendaal for the lesson and tips yesterday. To the enthusiastic German tourist who already completed an entire blanket (Bottom image centre) for this drive, which will culminate in Round Table - Hilton 242 distributing blankets to wrap needy children in warmth during Winter.
Thank you to everyone who is crocheting, knitting, or knotting polar fleece blankets for the finale in mid-May, when Piggly Wiggly will be covered in blankets!
Blankets for children and 20cm x 20cm squares (which will need to be sewn together) are all welcome. Drop off at The Hair Studio at Rotunda Centre in Hilton, Sew What at White House Centre in Howick or at Piggly Wiggly Coffee Shop.
