Knitters, Movers & Shakers Featured in Woman’s Weekly

Friday February 7th 2025Share page

We are thrilled to share that our wonderful Knitters, Movers & Shakers group has been featured in this month’s Woman’s Weekly

One of our dedicated members, Linda, spoke to the magazine about how the group came together to create beautiful woolen set pieces and costumes for balletLORENT’s production of The Velveteen Rabbit. Working alongside renowned designer Nasir Mazhar, the group’s intricate handcrafted creations have been showcased on every stage of the production’s tour—receiving admiration from audiences and artists alike.

Linda describes the group as more than just a knitting club. “It’s a space to connect, share stories, and be part of something creative. We knit, we chat, we even have a little dance—it’s a real joy every week.”
