Glasgow 850 Close Knit Project

Cumbernauld Trinity has been taking part in the Glasgow 850 Close Knit project, a project of the Presbytery of Glasgow to mark the 850th Anniversary of the city.
We have been knitting squares of different colours and then sewing them together to create some beautifully patterned blankets.
Six completed blankets were handed in to the Presbytery office on 30th April and the photos below show the process from start to finish. Thanks to everyone taking part!

Glasgow Close Knit is a project of the Presbytery of Glasgow with the Lodging House Mission to mark Glasgow’s 850th anniversary.

Individuals, church groups and community groups are invited to take part in Glasgow Close Knit by knitting blankets, or squares for blankets or sewing squares together into blankets. Finished blankets will be displayed as pieces of art in Glasgow and surrounding areas from the middle of 2025 and thereafter will be distributed by LHM to those who need them. 

In this way in its 850 anniversary year we mark and continue the heritage of Glasgow as a city that cares for all, supports the most vulnerable and knows all people in Glasgow and beyond are Knit Together in the love that is the gift of God to us.
