Knitting for newborns

NEEDLES will be clickin’ and clackin’ at the Collie Senior Citizens' Centre next month when a new knitting and crochet group starts.

Committee member Karin Archer said anyone wanting to learn the skills is welcome to join.

“There is the opportunity to teach people who don’t know how to knit,” she said.

Mrs Archer said the group will also provide the much-needed opportunity for people to meet and socialise.

“I think it will get the community together.

“I’ve been in Collie for five and a half years and even now I don't really know the town,” she said.

“It’s not a serious thing, it’s to get people to talk and laugh and tell stories.

“A cuppa is included. I’ll even buy a cake!” Mrs Archer said.

ful that the new facility will allow for radio and television training programs for the students at Collie Senior High

School. “Wouldn’t it be nice for an academy of radio?” he said. “There is more to it than just talking into a microphone.”
