Calling all knitters and stitchers, join West Norfolk Knitters and Stitchers at the Wool Shack where we will be holding a ‘knit a smoothie hat – athon’ in aid of Age UK. Smoothie hats are the tiny hats placed on Innocent smoothie bottles. If you have any patterns bring them along with your favourite needles (the ones that do not lose stitches nor make mistakes). We will have wool for you. If you can access the internet, there are loads of patterns on www.thebigknit.co.uk. You will see ‘patterns’ across the top of the home page. So if you want to get started, feel free. AgeUK is hoping for 5,000 hats this year, we are hoping West Norfolk can provide 100.
If you would like to learn book folding, bring any old book and a ruler and pencil.
All welcome.
Norfolk Knitters & Stitchers provide support to charities at home and abroad with lovingly hand knitted and sewn items.
Lynn historian Dr Paul Richards and local bard Gareth Calway are once again teaming up to deliver a fascinating insight into the history of King's Lynn. In 'The English Civil War in Lynn & Other Stories' Dr Richards will speak about Lynn in the 1620s-1660s and the impact of Puritanism and the Revolution on the town.
Gareth's ballads will provide a fresh interpretation of some of the characters involved in the Civil War, as well as other figures linked to King's Lynn, from King John to Fanny Burney.
Gareth will also be presenting the Marriott's Warehouse Trust with a cannonball from the 1643 siege of Lynn, which was fired from West Lynn during a terrifying three week bombardment

There is also a monthly gathering at the West Norfolk Deaf Association where activities such as quizzes, bazaars, games and the like are held bringing fun into our gatherings. We cut our cloth according to the smallest purse buying our outfits from charity shops; it helps the charity and gives us more money for our lunches, afternoon teas, theatre trips and going to the races.
