New Knitting Group In Sheffield for Charity and Animal Lovers

Recommended Posts

Knitters and Crocheters needed for Sheffield based animal charity

 

Do you enjoy knitting? Would you like your knitting to benefit others? Would you like to meet other people once a month?

 

Why not join the new RSPCA Sheffield knitting group? We are inviting people to come and help us make items for the animals in our care. Items that we can also sell at our fairs and in the centre shop. As well as knitting and crocheting, we will also be making beds/baskets and toys from recycled items. At the moment we are asking people to express an interest by replying to this post.

 

The sessions will be held on a Sunday and refreshments will be provided. There will be a small charge of £2 per session to cover cost of using the centre and refreshments. Dates and times will be confirmed soon, so please watch this thread very carefully.

 

In the meantime, the centre is needing cat blankets, dog blankets and dog jackets so feel free to dust off your needles and get clicking, ready for the first meeting. Look forward to meeting you soon.

I've knitted for a charity over many years and would be interested.

Hi Plop128,

 

Thank you for showing an interest in the group, we are currently discussing a date for the first session. If you would like to start knitting anything for the group, I know the centre is wanting dog blankets and cat blankets.

 

As you are an experienced knitter, I don't think I need to mention not to use mohair as this would choke the animals should they chew the blankets.

I knit a lot for various charities, don't think I could attend the group but I would be interested in knitting crotcheting cat dog blankets , a lot of animal charities wont accept crotched for the cats because of the holes their claws get caught in them, what are you needing.

I am a fundraising co-ordinator at the RSPCA Sheffield and we are starting a craft group. We have recently found out that our underfloor heating and boiler system will not last until the end of the year. We need to raise £10,000 to get this repaired asap to keep our animals warm.

 

The link to our current fundraising page: https://campaign.justgiving.com/char...ffield/heating

 

The idea of the craft group is to make items to sell and raise funds at our events throughout the year and to make blankets, baskets and toys for our much loved animals.

 

Any craft is welcome and who knows you may even teach someone a new skill

 

The first session will be held on the 28th February 2016.

Session Fee: £3 per person

Session Time: 10.00 until 14:00

 

Refreshments free and cake available for a small fee

 

under 18's welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.

 

If you are interested please message me asap!

I completely missed the original post the first time round, I'm interested but can only come occasionally as I work different days each week. I've got a feeling I'm off on the 28th though, and I will look forward to it.

Hi I need someone to knit three identical hats for an event . I would pay for all costs and donate a fee to the animal charity of your choice . It would be a simple design in blue with yellow stars to fit average adult head . Would anyone be willing ?

Interested in attending the group as I work full time so Sunday meets would be good. I missed the first session so can you advise date and venue of next. I regularly knit cat blankets from my 'odds and ends' and hand them into local PDSA shop but like the idea of a group

I am due to retire shortly, and might be interested from next April onwards - sounds good to me.
