We have had a wonderful response to the Knit Factor and have received a huge number of knitted items! We would ask supporters to contribute to helping sell the listed items on our eBay shop here.

The Knit Factor will return in Autumn 2013 and we will request items again in due course. Thanks to all for taking part last year!
