Teddington Library is located on Waldegrave Road, Teddington TW11 8NY (Image supplied)

Join us for a morning of knitting and crochet at Teddington Library creating Worry Monsters for seriously ill children supported by local children's charity Momentum !

Worry monsters are a valuable way to help the children cope with anxiety and we're aiming to create lots for Momentum to use in their work.

We'll provide the patterns, stuffing and yarn, but feel free to bring along any yarn you have too. Please bring along suitable knitting needles or crochet hooks to use, if you have them.

A basic level of knitting or crochet is needed, but there'll be plenty of support if you're not confident or need help with the patterns.

No need to book in advance, just come along on the day for all or part of the session. But if you'd like to register your interest (to give us an idea of numbers), then click here. Refreshments will be available, courtesy of the library.
