Throughout 2025, countless people have been part of this project, celebrating Glasgow 850 in a city-wide communal activity of knitting and crocheting blankets for ‘Glasgow Close Knit’. Thousands of squares have been sewn together into hundreds of blankets and have now been brought together for a second exhibition. Representing the work of countless hands, each blanket speaks of the generous creativity of Glasgow’s citizens. ‘Glasgow Close Knit’ is a communal expression of care for the most vulnerable individuals across the City of Glasgow who live in need of security and warmth.
Later in the year, all the blankets will be distributed through the Lodging House Mission to people experiencing homelessness and isolation across the City.
‘Glasgow Close Knit’ is a project of Glasgow Presbytery (SCO07691) and The Lodging House Mission (SC017283), curation by @gardnerandgardner.
