Crocheting into the New Year

Buddy Cups North East had a great first meeting of 2025 at Hotel Indigo. This month, we had our own Karen Lloyd trying to teach us how to crochet granny squares, which will be made into a blanket later in spring and sold off to raise funds for Buddy Cups. It was fun just getting to grips with the stitches and also to meet up again after what felt like ages and see how everyone was doing.

Our crochet journey continues next month when hopefully we will all have managed to create at least one square each. Quite a few had to miss this month for various reasons, but they will be able to catch up in February. Thanks to Karen for her time and patience with us all—I am sure we will be much improved for the next session.

Thank you also to Phil and his team at The Neighbourhood Cafe in Hotel Indigo, who, as ever, looked after us extremely well. It’s always good to be back in such a welcoming environment.

We’re excited for more creative sessions ahead and look forward to seeing everyone again soon!
