Knit and natter groups, national school students and Irish Countrywomen's Association guilds are among the hundreds of volunteers who have helped make 'Blankets of Hope', a project run by charity the Cork Cancer Care Centre.
Knit and Natter groups met regularly at the Cork Cancer Care Centre in Cork city centre, among them several cancer survivors who themselves were given a gift of a Blanket of Hope. — JennïeØSullivân March 19, 2019 Una Dineen, 89, from the Model Farm Road, and her friend Ann White, from Ballincollig are also regulars.
"You just try to make it as pretty and comfortable, and warm and as colourful as possible. Just to send love to somebody who needs it at the time."
Fabulous idea, knitting and crocheting in itself is very therapeutic, there is love and dedication in each stitch.
What a GREAT idea😀 AMAZING women🙌🏻 True Irish spirit🇮🇪💚☺️
