Knatty Knitters mark decade of fundraising

Generous knitters have handed over a cheque for £1420 to Strathcarron thanks to their creative skills - as they begin to wind down their amazing fundraising after a decade of supporting the hospice.

The 'Knatty Knitters' from Bridge of Allan Parish Church have been using their special talents to fundraise for the hospice for 10 years, raising tens of thousands of pounds for the charity during that time.

Lynda Stuart, May Johnstone, Janette Harper, Catherine Morton, Joanette Wright, June Munro, Rona Burns and Christina Paterson have been making unique knitted items to sell within the local community including teddies, ducklings and Christmas puddings.

Lynda, who started knitting as a hobby 60 years ago, said: "The hospice means a lot to people.

"Everyone in the village has a connection to the hospice. It was even one of the staff in the local Strathcarron Hospice shop that gave us the nickname the 'Knatty Knitters'
