Throughout 2025, countless people have been celebrating Glasgow 850 in a city-wide communal activity of knitting and crocheting patchwork blankets for ‘Glasgow Close Knit’. The hundreds of blankets and thousands of squares that have been brought together for the exhibition in The 1873 Hall, represent the work of many hands and speak 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 LHM360 to people experiencing homelessness and isolation across the City.
Glasgow Close Knit is project of Glasgow Presbytery (SCO07691) and The Lodging House Mission (SC017283), curation by Gardner & Gardner.
