Angels.  In 2017 we knit almost 800 angels as gifts for the local community.  They all had little gift tags which gave details of a service in church. and were distributed around the Parish.

Fish and Chip baby cloths. There are babies born in the third world that are wrapped in newspapers as they have no clothes to wear. We have started to knit clothes for them. Patters available if you can help.
