Libraries host knit-in

The ABC Local Radio Knit-In returns for its ninth year, with both Woy Woy and Umina libraries participating in the charity drive, which runs throughout July.

The drive entails participants knitting 10 by 10 inch squares, using four millimetre needles and eight ply yarn, with the aim of joining the squares collected to make blankets for underprivileged communities.

Nearly 200 libraries, city councils and National Trust properties across NSW are supporting the knit campaign by hosting knitting sessions in the lead-up to a live broadcast across local and regional ABC stations in NSW.
