TWO friends who love to knit have made more than 30 cardigans for disadvantaged children in Boscombe.
Ann Lee, 91, and Ann Fox, 84, are aiming to knit 300 garments and are hoping to find other keen knitters to help them.
The cardigans are distributed by Variety The Children’s Charity via the local branch Variety Wessex.
The two Anns, who live at a McCarthy Stone retirement home in Branksome Park, have also knitted dolls in the past and last year made blankets for families in Ukraine.
Ann Lee said: “I enjoy knitting and like to keep busy. Knitting the cardigans is a productive use of my time, particularly during long winter evenings.”
Ann Fox said they are both thrilled to be helping children in the Bournemouth area at a time when families’ finances are so strapped.
Those interested in the knitting project can contact Frances Cornelius, chair of Variety Wessex at francesaaa@aol.com.
