Home-based knitting and sewing volunteers

First page of Desmond.

Bag Books has a dedicated team of home based volunteers who use their knitting and sewing skills to produce a number of items for our books including the knitted Desmond doll and knitted ice cream in A Day at the Seaside.

If you would like to make knit some items for Bag Books, in the first instance please contact Christie Monahan, Volunteer Co-ordinator, email: christie@bagbooks.org who will know what our current needs are.

We get our yarns from www.loveknitting.com
