Knitting News - 9

It's Wednesday and it's back it must be knitting news.  This week Knitting for the Guards and Knitting for the Children, two knitting groups knitting for two very worthy causes.

Knitting for the Guards.

Cawthorne Mother's Union have been knitting balaclavas for the guards serving in Afghanistan, they have knit loads of these with the intention of the guards wearing these under their helmets to keep them warm during the cold weather.
I have noticed a lot of knitting groups are happy to spend time knitting items of clothing for the brave people serving in the armed forces.  It is a wonderful thing to do and long may it continue to bring a bit of joy to these people both doing the knitting and those receiving these gifts.

Guess Who's Back!

Behind the stitches is back, after a small Christmas break I would like to officially welcome you back to this blog.  Not a lot has happened with my projects over Christmas so I don't have anything to update you with.  Knitting news will be back on Wednesday, and I will be starting reviews as well as telling you what is happening with my own projects.

Talking about what I am making; I need to find something new, and soon otherwise I will just sit around just wondering what to make rather than actually getting on with making something.  Anyway when I find something I will let you know, so until next time see you later.
