Everyone is invited to a 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day Knit-a-thon hosted at Ingénuité at The Yard this Saturday 20 October from 09H00 to 13h00.
The morning of knitting and crochet is open to all levels of skill â wool and needles will be provided along with good cheer and instruction. Experienced knitters are invited to knit or crochet on the morning to contribute to the INCREDIBLE 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela dAY project. The event is one many organised by 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day , an incredible initiative that has become a âknitting revolutionâ that has given thousands of South Africans comfort and warmth during winter.
âWe hosted the first IngĂ©nuitĂ© Knit-a-thon in June 2016 at Montecasino with many happy knitters taking part. The 67 Blankets initiative is an important nation building initiative â itâs one with heart and community spirit. Weâre delighted to bring this event to our new home at The Yard, Riversands,â says Dave Openshaw, owner of IngĂ©nuitĂ© at The Yard.
âWe are really excited to be wooling  once again with Dave at his new home  at The Yard and after our last successful knitathon with him and his team, we hope to see many old and new knitwits on Saturdayâ, says Carolyn Steyn, 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day.
