Where there’s a wool, there’s a way
Knitted gingerbread house to raise cash
Published:
A KNITTED gingerbread house will help cancer sufferers this Christmas, proving that where there’s wool there’s a way.
The gingerbread house and two gnomes have been made by the Baad Girls knitting group, which last year donated £500 to Cancer Link Aberdeen and North (Clan) after its raffled Christmas tree creation proved a hit knit. The latest crafted creations are on display at Wool for Ewe, a wool supplier based at 241 Rosemount Place, Aberdeen.
It was women from the shop who formed the Baad Girls, meeting every Thursday night for a knit.
Shop owner Kathleen Morrison, 51, said last year’s knitted Christmas tree, which stood 2.5ft, proved so successful that people were asking when the next knitted project would begin.
She added: “There has already been great interest in the gingerbread house and gnomes and we have sold lots of raffle tickets already. It’s for a good cause and the winner gets the beautiful house and gnomes, which the Baad Girls spent long hours working on.”
Raffle tickets are on sale now at the Rosemount shop and all money raised will be donated to Clan.
Clan is an independent charity for anyone affected by any type of cancer, based at Clan House, Aberdeen.
As well as sufferers it offers help to carers, family and close friends and covers the whole of Grampian, Orkney and Shetland.
