The Knit Club for Blankets for London - 12th October

We are currently in between funding for our regular knit club. If you have the means, please consider getting a donation ticket: this helps us directly pay for more workshops to happen while we apply for more funding opportunities.

If you can't make the event anymore, please be sure to cancel your ticket well in advance to give others a chance to attend.

The Knit Club is a workshop by Craft Forward structured like a relaxed and welcoming knitting and crochet group, open to beginners and experienced makers to come together, learn more about the craft and and connect to fellow makers. Knitters will be producing knitted squares to go towards London rendition of our flagship initiative Blankets for the World, Blankets for London.

“Blankets for London” is Craft Forward’s seasonal project where we assemble blankets to donate to unhoused individuals in London through our partner charities.

The Knit Club is open to anyone interested in approaching crafting and textile art for the first time and to any creative who would like an opportunity to make together and connect with other makers.

What to bring: all materials are provided! If you are an experienced knitter please bring your own knitting needles; if you are a beginner, come along and we will help you start your knitting journey! If you're a crocheter, come with your favourite hook, or you can borrow one from us!

I want to participate in "Blankets for the World": please check out your closest collection hub by clicking HERE.

We are collecting already assembled blankets. Our Standard size is 100x140cm, or 35 squares. We are prioritising collecting already assembled blankets from this year in the hope of helping out our volunteers and ultimately distributing more blankets to people experiencing houselessness.

If you are planning on contributing less than 35 squares, you can post us 20x20cm squares of any yarn thickness and stitch pattern (ends weaved in please!)

We are not accepting yarn donations at this time.
