As well as producing a mountain of beautiful knitted items to donate for charity, the ladies provide each other with friendship, support and most of all a good giggle.
There is even a sub-group who meet on a Saturday who call themselves the Knackered Knitters where the ante is upped, the music is broken out and the natter can get naughty!
“Yesterday we were dancing queens,” says Sue, who moved into the village 18 months ago.
“Sylvia knitted right through it,” she laughs.
“My feet were dancing!” adds Sylvia.
