SNUG knitting group - Common Thread

By

Common Thread

Our thriving knitting group has been going for several years. One of its major works was a knitted version of the Common. This was part of Hackney Museum's community exhibition about the Cazenove area, called 'Side by Side'. Creating a 3-D knitted replica of the Common, playground and all, took great ingenuity, 3-D thinking and dexterity.

The knitted common is now on permanent display in Stoke Newington Library, on Church St, N16.



Other projects include a giant snakes and ladders game, which we roll out at events 


The group meets in various venues across Stoke Newington, including the Common, when the weather is right. Contact them via snug n16 (at ) gmail.com
