We have decided to knit chicks (the ones that take a creme egg) to give to care home residents at Easter. Many people said to me that they had found knitting angels quite therapeutic so if anyone would like to join with us and knit some Easter chicks we would be very grateful. We are looking to have them all by 26 March so they can be in quarantine for a few days in the homes before being given as an Easter present. I have seen them in different colours and with tufts on the head so if you have a different pattern or feel like being creative, please feel free!   Angela Maxwell
