May’s morning tea
This month we had a morning tea to raise money for cancer care.
Members were asked to make a hat to donate to cancer care, we ended up with 34 hats and one scarf.
Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera along so had to make do with the camera built into my phone which is not as good.
Eleanor had a request from a final year student who needs the services of a machine knitter that could make some intarsia items for her. If you know of anyone who may be able to assist with this request please see Eleanor.

Show and tell this month included hats, blankets and even a tea cosy.
These three pictures show the range of style and colour of hats that members made for cancer care.
Eleanor brought in a baby blanket and tea cozy that she has made, the blanket looks a little washed out and the photo doesn’t do it any justice at all, sorry Eleanor.
The tea cosy was machine knitted and hand manipulated on the machine using snowball yarn. I’m sure you will agree a fantastic result.
And finally Shosanna brought in a lovely tuck blanket in yellow, once again the photo doesn’t do it justice.
