Downham Community Fair

Downham Market Community Fair took place in the Town Hall today, and we were there! We had some of our St Mungo's woolly hats on show. We sold yarn, patterns, books, and Donna brought some of her stitch markers and project bags. The highlight of the day was the little boy who hovered on and off throughout the morning and eventually admitted to wanting to learn to knit! Go Leon! The lovely Matthew Usher from the EDP arrived in time to record the moment!

Monday's online EDP24 had these photos on their website (and the one of Sheila is in the paper too):

March daytime group meets and welcomes Nik!

Second Tuesday morning of March means daytime knitting group....yay! Florence, Dot, Tricia, Pat, Mary, Sheila, PLUS we had someone new turn up - Nik. She's the one bottom right with the big wooden needles. Samples of what we're all working on are also shown today. Can you see Nik's adorable home-made dog-covered carry-bag on wheels?

About us

St Edmund's Crafty Knitters (formerly known as St. Edmund's Knit and Crochet Group) formed at the end of Jan 2012, the idea of a few members of the church congregation (who like knitting and crocheting!). We held an inital evening, and were pleased with the interest. Since then, we have met every second Tuesday morning of the month at 10am and every last Tuesday evening of the month at 7.30pm. We have two distinct groups but the overlap is becoming more blurred with the lighter evenings. We would love to welcome you at our sessions. Bring a friend or two! We meet at St Edmund's Church Hall, entrance is free, we just give a donation to cover the cost of filter coffee or tea and biscuits.
