Angel Yarns Knitting Forums UK

I'm new on here, but I am a knitter, currently working on dog coats for a charity.

I don't know whether you can help or not. I am the parent of a boy with CFS/ME. I am on the fund raising committee for AYME (The Association of Young People with ME), based in Milton Keynes. The young people raise funds through their own fund raising ideas, as well as donations. This coming year, the theme is "Socks" and they had the idea of asking celebrity knitters to donate a Sock Pattern, or a pair of Knitted Socks, which they can then sell or auction to raise funds. It has fallen to me to find some celebrity knitters, but I am not having much luck so far.

I wondered whether you might be able to help by giving me names to pass on, or putting someone in touch with me who can help. The young people themselves would make the approach as they like to be involved as much as possible.

I hope you are able to help and appreciate any information you can offer.

Kind regards

There is a list of knitting celebs in the first Stitch 'n Bitch book. Not sure if there are any Brits on that list though...

Thank you both. I'll try to find the book so I can find out!

Happy New Year to all on here. As soon as I can see straight after this rotten cold , I will get my needles out again and get busy!

Just ordered book, so hope it's the right one!

What about Tracey Ullman, she has a knitting book out

Thank you!

I seem to remember that Una Stubbs is a knitter, can't think of anyone else at the moment though.
