June Challenges

And they’re off!

The June challenges are underway. If you would like to take part, just request to join our members group, Needles Hooks Angels and Preemies.

Links to free Crochet Patterns - Blankets

At NHAP we use lots of different patterns.

Here are links to some crochet patterns that could be used to.  Remember though that crochet blankets to go to babies shouldn't have holes in that could catch fingers.
We also collect blankets to be used in old people's homes.

May Challenges

Our knitting, crochet and sewing challenges for May were the results of direct requests that NHAP received.

I think our fantastic members certainly answered the call. Well done to all that took part.

April Challenges

Despite the strange time we are living in our April Challenges were a huge success.

Our knitters made NHAP blankets, our crocheters made blankets and our sewers made scrub bags to go to NHS staff.

Thank you again for all your contributions.

March Challenges

Once again our members have blown us away with their generosity!

For the March Challenge our knitters have been making newborn hats, crocheters have been making newborn cardigans and our sewers have been making NICU smocks.

They exceeded every target that was set.  A selection of the amazing makes are shown below
Thank you!!
