<p>Hi everyone in the group: I have a small knitting group in Willesden Green and we are hosting a knitathon in aid of providing shelters for the homeless through the Big Issue. We are look for people to knit something we can sell - it can be simple like an Xmas decoration or an iPhone cover or a hat.</p>
<p> Details of the event below.</p>
<p>The Big Issue is having its annual Knitathon on Nov 1<sup>st</sup> in Willesden Green 10-2pm where we will be knitting and selling knitted and other crafted items to help provide winter shelters for the homeless.</p>
<p>Even if you can’t knit, you could sponsor someone else to knit for an hour or more. Or you could provide something else for us to sell - cakes, embroidered items, bric-a-brac and so on.</p>
<p>All you fellas out there - why don’t you get sponsored to learn to knit for an hour? It’s easier that you think - we’ll cast on for you and then you can knit yourself a scarf!</p>
<p>Also welcome any spare wool you might have so that we can make more items.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you can’t come along but would like to be sponsored or to provide knitted items then contact Elayne Coakes on <a href="mailto:elayne.coakes@btinternet.com">elayne.coakes@btinternet.com</a></p>

<p>I've been asked if the newly formed crochet and knitting group could contribute a workshop at the upcoming harvest festival. I am still quite new to crochet and it took me a while to just learn the basics so I am not sure a workshop involving people making something using crochet or knitting will really work. It's not really something you can pick up and do and have a good result in a short amount of time. I will put my thinking cap on but if anyone else has any ideas please put them on…</p>
