The local group has created blankets, jumpers, beanies, scarves, socks, slippers etc, either on machines or by hand. The items were presented to Sharon Robertson from Child Cancer, prior to an after- TC261113CA01 noon tea in St Andrew’s Hall. KNITTERS produce items for charity in the St Andrew’s Church Hall. The idea to donate items came about after a discussion between Keith Hutton and Elizabeth Bealing. Mr Hutton says Mrs Bealing originally donated yarn for the knitting of beanies, scarves and socks. ‘‘We never had any idea that there would be such a huge response. ‘‘Elizabeth’s donation started other people knitting and donating to the cause. ‘‘Since May this year we have donated over 400 articles to Child Cancer for use in the Waikato and they have been astounded at the quality and colours of the garments don- ated. ‘‘Sharon Robertson from Child Cancer was able to meet many of the knitters and expressed her gratitude during her visit. ‘‘We are also grateful to Dawn til Dusk and Waikato Bakeries for supporting our TC261113CA02 efforts, by providing afternoon PRESIDENT Shirley Walker (left) with Elizabeth Bealing and Sharon
