Lets get Knitting!!!

Age UK Exeter is running our annual Knitathon - we challenge, absolutely anyone who can knit (or is willing to learn!) to see how many hats you can create for Age UK Exeter. Make it fun! Set your own targets. Compete with other groups. Host a knit-and-natter session. Get all ages involved. Whether you knit 20 hats or 200, you will be directly supporting the vital work Age UK Exeter does to support older people in our city. Between us, let’s show what Exeter can do one little hat at a time.
