About Glasgow Close Knit
You are invited to an exhibition of the hundreds of knitted and crocheted blankets that have been carefully crafted by churches, community groups and individuals for ‘Glasgow Close Knit’.
The exhibition will take place in Kelvin West Parish Church, University Ave/Southpark Ave, G12 8LE, on Sunday 14th September, 1pm - 4pm and from Monday 15th to Thursday 18th September, 10am - 4pm
Admission is free and all are welcome...
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.
