Residents at a care home in Edinburgh have been picking up their knitting needles and stitching together more than just wool – creating new threads of friendships, laughter and a sense of community.

The knitting group at Care UK’s Cairdean House, on Redford Road in Colinton, brings together residents and local community members for a morning of crafting and conversation, with the monthly sessions taking place on the last Friday of the month from 10.00am.

Whether experienced knitters or complete beginners, those who join Knit & Natter can enjoy the simple pleasure of knitting while sharing stories, tips and plenty of tea.

For some residents, the group has rekindled their love for a long-lost hobby, while for others, it’s a chance to learn something new in a relaxed and social setting.

Angela Burns, Home Manager at Cairdean House, said: “Our Knit & Natter group is a great way for residents and local people to come together, learn from each other and enjoy a relaxed evening.

“Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, it’s a chance to pick up new skills, have a chat and enjoy some light refreshments in good company.”
