Knitting Together

Do you like to knit, sew or crochet? Residents make squares to create warm wraps. Wrap With Love, an Australian volunteer organisation, sends the wraps where they are needed.

You need 8 ply wool (about 1 ball per square) and size 4mm (old 8) knitting needles. To make a 25cm square, cast on about 50 stitches (depending on your tension). Knit in any pattern except stocking stitch (garter stitch is easiest – all plain). Stripes are fine if you don’t have enough of one colour. If you don’t knit any more, but have spare wool, others will happily use it. And if you’d like to learn, we can help you with that too. We especially welcome people willing to sew up the wraps. Since 2006 we have sent off over 600 completed wraps – and perhaps we’ve saved over 600 people from dying of cold!

Ring Mary on 0410 679 204 to contribute your square(s) and/or wool, or have a chat about getting involved. We meet at the Station about every 6 weeks to put the squares together. Check Jacksons Landing What’s On for the next get-together – usually a Saturday morning from 9 to 10am at the Station.
