The Little Duckling Knitting Club has celebrated its very first birthday and a year of special Saturdays at the Durbanville Library!
Durbanville, South Africa (03 June 2024) — Every Saturday, little knitters are given the opportunity to grow with new skills at the Durbanville Library. Like the amount of creations, the Little Duckling Knitting Club has grown beautifully and celebrated its first birthday over the weekend.
The dearly-loved library has has made creative space both for ducks (maturer knitters) and ducklings (little knitters), with each club having celebrated their first anniversaries this year.
The Knitting Duck Club (founded by Gail Leask) celebrated its first anniversary with a milestone moment—knitting 2000 beanies for Beanies 4 Babies in late April, giving premature little ones much-needed warmth. There, the group celebrated not only its creative output and awesome intentions but also its growth from a handful of members to a full class.
For the little ducklings, the order of the day was some colourful knitting and the renewed excitement of more creative projects to come. Further, volunteers and ‘Saturday Heroes’ like Natasha Jungbluth Smith who pours her passion into teaching the little knitters, were awarded with appreciation certificates for their efforts.
Knitting communities together and inspiring new passions takes a village, but with initiatives like this in action, we’re reminded that sometimes it just takes feeling part of something to make all the difference in the world.
