Welcome to Knitting for Palestine!

Welcome to a knitting meeting at Bergen Assembly!

There will be conversations about the situation in Palestine, poetry reading and the opportunity to get to know each other better. We'll be serving food from Palestine and cakes with coffee/tea.
This evening you can help knit patches that will become a solidarity blanket with a heart for Palestine for the bazaar we will have on 5 April, newborn knitwear that is sent to Palestine and Lebanon or other solidarity knitwear. We have materials and it is simple knitting and crocheting. Feel free to bring knitting needles 3 - 3.5 or crochet hooks 2.5 - 3.5. If you have baby yarn in different colours or wool yarn in red, white, green and black that you would like to donate to the Knit for Handala - Palestine shop, you are welcome to bring it along. Extra equipment and yarn is available for anyone who wants to contribute to the solidarity blanket.

If anyone has newborn knitwear that can be sent with Norwac to Lebanon and the West Bank, you are welcome to bring it to the meeting or deliver it to the Handala store.

The next meeting is 20 March 17:00 - 20:00 at Bergen Assembly.
