Crochet Relief efforts raise cash for Red Nose Day 2013

Crochet Relief raises £78.02 for the Red Nose Day Cause!

On Monday 11th March we left our crafting at home and picked up our hooks, in aid of a great cause. For Red Nose Day KNS welcomed lots of enthusiastic new faces and with the help of the Crochet Relief Kits of instructions, red yarn and goggly eyes we got to it.
We have received lots of enquiries about learning to crochet over the past few months and during the evening we had experienced members of the KNS clan on hand to demonstrate basic stitches to get the beginners started. Our task was to create a crochet round and use googly eyes, wadding, felt and pin backs to create our very own red nose. All entry fee's of £2.50 per person, proceeds from kit and cake sales went straight to Comic Relief.

I loved Anne's wonderful case of metalic coloured crochet hooks, Anne came along prepared and was the envy of all. We treated the wonderful Izzy to a bottle of bubbles in celebration of her recent engagement - you should see that dazzler on her finger? well done Ilja, you have impecable taste.
No KNS event would be without lots of homemade cake! On Monday we were in cake heaven, there was no shortage of scrummy offerings on the cake bake sale table, Blueberry muffins, Toffee kisses, lemon and ricotta cookies, shrimp sweet cupcakes and more!

 

I would like to make a special thank you to Joanne, Izzy, Eleanor & her mum who supported this event demonstrating the Crochet Stitches to our members - I really appreciate your patience and enthusiasm.
KNS should be so very proud of the generous amount we raised during the evening - Thank you.

We have enjoyed two popular events over the past few weeks, now we look forwards, and on Monday we will be running our KNS session from the Green Room at Creed Street Art Centre. This is a trial as many members have been concerned about the temperature in the community centre. Please come along Monday, I welcome your feedback. I feel that a move to Creed will provide us with support and many options to grow this community group further.

Your Stitch club needs you!
On Wednesday 27th March there will be a committee meeting at Jennifers house (see me directly for details), we are looking to increase the committee numbers. We need members imput on the growth of the club, come and have your say, give your idea's, what do you want to see each week?
The meeting starts at 8pm.

Happy Stitching
Love
Sarah
