Ever wanted to try out a classic activity? How about learning a new skill? Or do you want to develop your knitting and crochet abilities? Then you should come to 'Knit Like Your Nana's weekly Tuesday sessions in Hubspace (located in HUBS)! Don't worry about your ability; we encourage anyone who wants to come along to come. We have sessions and materials for amateurs, intermediates, professional and expert knitters and crocheters! Committee members and other experienced knitters/crocheters will be there to help you when you need it, so give us a shout! The cost of membership helps to pay for supplies like wool, needles and hooks, but we're still one of the cheapest societies around. Some activities we have planned for the year include: - Learning to knit and/or crochet - Themed and normal socials - And most of all, having fun!
We also want to collaborate with other societies to branch out and meet new people while teaching them a skill they might not know, and we hope to set up charity events to fundraise for important charities that do amazing work.
The Society was founded in November 2015 and won the Best New Society 2016 award, then the Most Developed Society 2017 award. We are one of the most active Social Societies in the Students' Union. One of the events we have participated in is the ‘100 hats for 100 babies' event, where we knitted over 304 hats for the Jessops Wing in one year alone! A few years ago, we knitted poppies to raise money for the Royal British Legion and raised over £200!
If you want to find out more or chat with one of our committee members, don't hesitate to contact us via Instagram, email or our WhatsApp group. We are looking forward to seeing you!
