Glasgow 850 Close Knit Project

If you have been busy knitting squares for the Glasgow 850 Close Knit project, please bring them along to the St Mungo’s Hub at 1:30pm on Thursday 1st May, and again on 5th June to sort them into colours and create some beautifully patterned blankets, and enjoy fellowship, chat and a cuppa.

Glasgow Close Knit is a project of the Presbytery of Glasgow with the Lodging House Mission to mark Glasgow’s 850th anniversary.

Individuals, church groups and community groups are invited to take part in Glasgow Close Knit by knitting blankets, or squares for blankets or sewing squares together into blankets. Finished blankets will be displayed as pieces of art in Glasgow and surrounding areas from the middle of 2025 and thereafter will be distributed by LHM to those who need them. 

In this way in its 850 anniversary year we mark and continue the heritage of Glasgow as a city that cares for all, supports the most vulnerable and knows all people in Glasgow and beyond are Knit Together in the love that is the gift of God to us.
