One Small Piece

Knitting group
10am - 12pm: Mondays
ReMakery, 308 Waihwhetu Road

Our wonderful knitting group meet weekly. Learners welcome!

Together the group has knitted items (blankets, slippers, hats), for our Care Bags project for Lower Hutt hospital provided to patients via the Emergency Dept, footware/slippers, knitting for prem babies and the night shelter as well as anyone in the community in need of blankets, warm layers.

All of our knits are pure wool and all is rescued from community and repurposed. Some of the wool is 30 years old.

If you'd like to knit with us but time doesn’t suit, email us at admin@cupa.org.nz.

Deepest gratitude to our knitting crew.

Together we are Warmer.

Meet our Project coordinator - Cathy

Thank you Cathy for all you do.

Early Beginnings

This project began with the children of Epuni Primary School. The children learn how to knit a square, then stitch their square to other squares donated by the wider community. Once they had enough squares to make a blanket they learnt how to crochet the edges together. They were then able to take their blanket home to help keep them warm and cosy.

The children have donated a blanket to a chimpanzee at Wellington Zoo, and they’ve gifted blankets to newborn babies at Hutt Hospital. And once the kids finished their blankets they were encouraged to try other tricky things like slippers.

Contact us for more information.

Please join us! Together, we knit.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

We welcome donations of quality wool and knitting needles. If you can send us a knitted square our children will stitch it into one of their blankets. Or we always appreciate knitted clothing and accessories to keep our children warm through winter.
