KNIT AND NATTER GROUP

420 poppies on their way to the Melbourne Festival - part of the display to commemorate the 4680 grenadier guards that were killed in the first world war.

Our knit and natter group was set up following the success of knitting twiddlemuffs for Alzheimers and Dementia sufferers.
