Get Messy! magazine encourages knitters!

Messy knitters! Well done Seascale Messy Church in Cumbria! After knitting squares in the Blind Bartimaeus session, as suggested by Anne Offler in the Get Messy! magazine Jan-April 2015 issue, they gave the blanket to a church member who had fallen ill. Now they just can’t stop knitting and have knitted lots more blankets to send to Nepal!
