The Elphin Lodge Knitting Club hosted a tea and talk by Professor Keith Bolton, retired chief paediatrician at Rahima Moosa Maternity Hospital, on Tuesday, May 31.
Over the years, the ladies in the club have knitted hundreds of blankets, beanies, booties and vests for the premature babies at the hospital.
These garments have played a big part in keeping the babies warm and have been crucial in contributing to their overall well-being.
Prof Bolton received the club’s latest donation of knitted items on behalf of the hospital and thanked the ladies for their faithful support over the years. He concluded by appealing to the knitters to “keep on knitting till they dropped”.
The club would appreciate donations of baby wool to help them continue with the knitting. If you can help, contact Adrienne Reid on 011 264 0464 or Isabel Peddie on 011 443 8877.
