This afternoon I was at the first Knit and Natter Group of 2020 at Alnwick Medical Group. As you can see, there was a magnificent haul of charity knits from group members who still found time to knit on top everything else they were doing over the Festive Season. Between us we handed in hats and angel tops for premature babies, “fish and chip” baby tops, and a twiddle mitt.
The room we use is now complete following refurbishment. This has included new table and chairs and a large interactive TV. We will be able to use this to share project photos and technique videos.
One of the lovely staff who support our knit and natter sessions was with us for the last time today as she is leaving to take up a post elsewhere. She has looked after us and kept us entertained over many Fridays. During this time she improved her own knitting , beginning with a scarf for her dog! She was the one who made us the amazing gingerbread house for our Christmas meeting. We will miss her very much but wish her every success in her new job.
Are you joining any new groups or activities in 2020?

Great bunch of knitters! Family History Group sounds fascinating. Know a little bit of my family history but would love to trace further back.

Oh I’m so jealous you’re in Alnwick! I’ve had a couple of holidays there and I just love it.

I live in a village close to Alnwick. It is lovely here. When we first moved here my son went to a nursery near the castle and every time I went there I’d look around and think. “Wow! We live here!” (He’s 21 now 😂)
