November Knitting Challenge 2026

I'm knitting everyday in November for Dementia UK

This November, I'm taking on the Dementia UK November Knitting Challenge by knitting every day and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone.

Dementia affects millions of people, changing lives in ways that can be overwhelming and heartbreaking. That's why I'm supporting Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity. Their Admiral Nurses provide expert advice, practical support and compassionate guidance to families when they need it most.

Just £33 could fund a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour supporting a family, helping them understand their options, cope with difficult situations and feel less alone.

Thank you for helping me make a difference this November. Your support means so much. 💙

Mums on her 3rd bauble and with a few hiccups and a lot of support from my Mum I’ve ma aged to do quite a bit more than yesterday 33 rows in different colours to be precise, with a sore finger as a consequence but I’m happy to have it as I can see the interest my Mum has in helping me and teaching me the skill she has honed over the last 71 years of her life.
