Twiddlemuffs

Thank very much for all the Twiddlemuffs you have sent us so far. Please do keep them coming! 

We have been advised of a couple of incidents where pins were found by the medical team inside Twiddlemuffs. Luckily no one was hurt, but please avoid using pins or safety pins. We know many knitters like to pin in place, but we cannot emphasise enough how dangerous a stray pin could be. Remember the twiddlemuffs are given, mostly, to patients with dementia who could even end up eating a pin.

‘Help abused women’ campaign continues

Women forced to flee war and civil unrest. They are stuck in makeshift camps, without hope or dignity, often haunted by recurring nightmares.Trafficked women and those who have been raped, who find asylum, but are far from home.
Victims of domestic violence, who have had to leave it all behind, and seek shelter in women’s refuges.Knitting helps their recovery, because it is calming, it makes them feel useful, as they knit for themselves, their children and others. Some even set up small businesses, selling their knitting. MyDonate has closed down.
