Not all gifts end with giving... This Christmas, Connolly are proud to showcase a very special project with KNITWISE, a ‘hand knit’ initiative established in 2019 by Isabel Ettedgui in partnership with the Kings Foundation at Dumfries House, based in one of the most disadvantaged parts of Scotland and supported by the Joseph Ettedgui Charitable Foundation.
For Christmas we are proud to showcase 20 beautiful handknit wool shawls in our Christmas window; the designs are based on the rare Taatit rugs of Shetland with symbols and motifs and colours taken from these remarkable pieces of handcraft and weave. All the proceeds from the sale of the shawls will go to help the elderly keep warm this winter ... to Age UK and Age Scotland.
Each shawl is unique with the knitters initials swiss darned and their biography attached. Knitted from practical heavy duty, robust wool so perfect for keeping warm while walking around the garden or sitting outside on a crisp sunny day ... even thrown over a chair back or under a dog.
It is a nice thought that during the Christmas season you can offer a gift that has been made by someone who has been given the chance to create and connect with a community and a future and how your generosity also allows desperately underfunded and often over- looked charities for the elderly to reach out and provide comfort and warmth this winter. We hope you will come to see the KNITWISE project at Clifford Street as your support will mean so much to the knitters and to all of us who have been involved in this project.
