The knitted and crocheted squares were donated to the NPO to make blankets for those in need.
Inyoni Creek’s hard-working knitters and crocheters come together annually to make as many squares as possible to help keep those less fortunate warm in winter.
“This year, our residents beat last year’s record of 1 602 squares,” said Inyoni Creek’s manager Jenny Tonkin.
“A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible and reached out to help those in need.”
To celebrate, the residents who took part enjoyed muffins and cocoa, kindly sponsored by Inyoni Creek’s deputy manager Marinda Looyen.
