Like a sit-in but with wool.
The Scouts held a knitathon this weekend to knit squares for blankets to be distributed to worthy causes for the approaching Winter. Winters in central Argentina aren’t cold like UK cold, but since houses aren’t heated or double glazed I think Winter is far less fun here than it would be in Europe despite being mostly five to ten degrees warmer.
We invited the Scouts to bring their grannies (plus one grandad) along with their needles and spare wool and we all sat round and knitted to a background of live folk music plus regular instalments of coffee and cake. All in all not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
