Craft: Knitting in Aid of Dementia UK in November 2024
For the second year running I’m taking part in Dementia UK’s November Knitting Challenge. The idea is that everyone taking part knits for at least 30 minutes each day and raises sponsorship money for the wonderful charity that helps people with dementia. I cared for my own mum and dad who suffered from dementia, so I know how important it is to have trained nurses who understand the needs of people with the condition and enable them to live happy lives.
Last year, for the 2023 November challenge, I started making what’s called a 10-stitch blanket, which is a square spiral of rows with 10 stitches. Click here to see my post and photo of what it looked like at the start.
I enjoyed it – there’s something meditative about knitting short rows and joining them to the existing spiral as I go. However, I didn’t finish it in the 30 days even though I did knit enthusiastically every day. In fact, I still haven’t, which is why my aim for this year’s event is to finish the blanket by the end of the month.
My original plan was to use it as a throw to cover my ancient sofa in my witchy room. This is what it looked like a few years ago. However, my cat has now ripped the fragile fabric covering in many places and pulled out a lot of the padding, so sadly I’ll be saying goodbye to it. (The sofa, not the cat, I hasten to add.) Instead, the blanket will keep me warm as an extra covering on my bed. You can see from the photo that I still have a few more circuits to go to reach that target.
While this is a charity event, please don’t feel pressured into donating unless you can afford it and want to. I fully understand that many of use are skint at the moment. I’m mainly sharing this post to raise awareness of the charity and what it does. However, if you want to sponsor me, here’s the link under the name Lucya Szachnowski: https://www.facebook.com/share/1sr9s2oUMRzxYXgh/
If that doesn’t work for you, please donate via the main Dementia UK charity page: https://www.dementiauk.org/donate/
