Knitting angels for Christmas needed

As usual we will be distributing angels around Latchford just before Christmas and we would like to ask for your help in knitting them. In the hall you will find patterns on the table by the door into church and there is also a big bag of wool if you need some.  The angels will be needed by Sunday 3rd December so there is time to attach labels onto them and a bag will be put out for the finished angels.
