In the choir, in the pews, in the synod hall, amongst the servers. The talk of knitting was everywhere. Indeed, knitting was being committed during the choir rehearsal…

    It is time, is it not, for a knitting group at St Mary’s? And if we ask her nicely, Mother Ruth will supply details of her prayer shawl ministry. Won’t she?
