Naked Knitting Calendar

Knitting in the nip? Inspired by the ladies of Rylstone and District's WI who got their kit of and got crafty for charity back in 1999, Boltons Knitting Noras have made a calendar of their own.

The group of knitters and crocheters was formed in 2005 by two founders, Sarah Richards and Bev Adam, doing the usual admirable knitterly charity knits and fundraising. Sadly in 2009 Sarah died from breast cancer, and in light of this loss the group were inspired to do something fabulous with their sticks and string to remember their friend and raise money for The Christie Hospital in Manchester.

The results of their knit-and-bare-it pictures can be seen in their fabulous Naked Knitting Calendar. You can buy it at the shops listed on their website and see the whole story laid bare on their blog.

Ladies we take our knitted hats off to you for getting your naked knit on for such a good cause.
