The Afrikaans Language and Culture Association (ATKV) Arendsnes branch, with Maak ‘n Verskil Hekel, will be hosting a 30-hour crochet marathon on May 26 to 27 at Del-Jua Arts & Crafts Shop located at 39 Penzance Street, New Redruth.
This is a nationwide initiative and various towns have been identified where fellow crocheters will get together to crochet 20cm x 20cm granny patches. When stitched together, 36 squares of patches can make one blanket.
The blankets will be donated by Maak ‘n Verskil Hekel to those in need.
If you can’t join the marathon, you are also welcome to crochet the squares at home and drop them at the shop.
You can also contribute by making a financial donation or a yarn donation.
“We are also planning a boerewors braai to coincide on May 27 and some other exciting things,” said Judith Germishuys, owner of Del-Jua Arts & Crafts Shop.
