PADGATE women showcased their knitting talent last week in a bid to raise cash for an international charity.

The women, who belong to Project Linus, regularly make blankets and quilts for sick and traumatised children.

The project also accepts blankets and quilts as well as thread, cotton, yarn, office supplies and postage stamps.

Originally set up to provide comfort for paediatric cancer patients, Project Linus has broadened its focus towards seriously ill, abused or traumatised children.
