Shropshire Way Challenge

A big thank you to all of those who took part in the knit Shropshire Way challenge. Throughout the year ladies across the country have been busy knitting, sewing and crocheting scraves to try and match the length of the Shropshire Way, no less than 202 miles, and the results were to be donated to charities to give to those in need. 

A total of 247 miles of yarn has so far been used to make over 2000 scarves and the challenge runs until January, so there will probably be more miles to come. 

Lancashire donations have been handed out all over the county with a big bag going to Shoreline Church to be distributed to those they feel will appreciate them, and another following at the beginning of next month. Some of the scarves have been sewn into blankets for homeless shelters and Age Concern by some very enterprising ladies.

To those of you who haven’t had time to contribute yet you have until 31st December, just get in touch with emmagillinder@googlemail.com if you want to make some necks warm in a totally tasteful way this winter.
