Knit and Crochet

Join Camberwell with some fabulous knitting and crocheting projects throughout 2023!

Community Chirstmas Tree

This Christmas tree is created from hundreds of squares knitted and crocheted by any and everyone who wants to participate – please join in. You choose your colour(s), whether you knit or crochet, and the only restrictions we ask are that all squares are 15cm x 15cm, and completed by a deadline in November.

This community art project starts NOW (early in 2023 – but it’s never too early to be thinking about Christmas!) and will be publicly displayed in December as part of Camberwell’s celebration of Christmas. If you are interested in contributing a square (or more than one) please contact Debbie – a volunteer with Camberwell Arts – for further information.

Debbie’s email: camberwellartsmarket@gmail.com 

If you prefer to knit/crochet with others in a social setting, come and join the Camberwell Knit and Crochet group* on one Sunday afternoon per month at Love Walk United Reform Church, SE5 8AE. Turn up any time between 3 – 5pm Email Debbie to find out which Sunday is going to be the next gathering. If you become a regular we notify everyone by WhatsApp for forthcoming dates. It is usually the first OR second Sunday of the month.
*A contribution of £1 is paid by all participants to the church for hosting us.

Poppy Cascade as War Memorial Artwork

Knit or crochet poppies in memory of all those who have been involved in conflicts around the world. Not just red poppies, but black and pink and white to represent the diversity of people by their ethnic origins, LGBTQ orientation and including those who were conscientious objectors. You choose your colour for the poppies you make.

This community art project starts NOW (early in 2023) and will be publicly displayed from the 1- 30 November. If you are interested in contributing a poppy (or more than one) please request a knit or crochet pattern from Debbie – a volunteer with Camberwell Arts.
