Carnon Downs WI Knitters Celebrate the Centenary

Carnon Downs WI’s Knit and Stitch group have been busy celebrating 100 years of the Cornwall Federation by knitting 100 hats for fishermen at the Seaman’s Mission; 100 baby coats, bonnets and booties for the Neonatal Unit at the Royal Cornwall Hospital; and 100 heart-shaped cushions for breast cancer patients at St Michaels Hospital in Hayle. Not only that, but 100 games of ten-pin bowling have been played! The Knit and Stitch group has been an ongoing project since 2010.
