Our fundraising month of May this year was spent raising funds and awareness for Cure Brain Cancer Foundation (CBCF). When we approached them to tell them we would be fundraising with a series of events and an overnight Yarn-a-Thon they were (understandably) excited as no-one had ever fundraised for them in this way before.

That got Kay thinking (any excuse to get creative that one!) and knowing how people had loved crocheting butterflies for...

...but since joining Crumbz' Knit Hook & Natter group on a Thursday evening, she's picked up the craft and now there's no stopping her! At Knit Hook & Natter on a Thursday night people come and sit together in our craft room and work on whatever project they’re knitting or crocheting, over a cuppa and a biscuit, with a bit of tuition when required and plenty of laughter thrown in for good measure.
