Clydebank knit and natter group bring summer joy to town

Maggie’s Yarn Buddies, based at the Big Disability Group hub on Dumbarton Road, have worked hard over the past few weeks to finalise a stunning summer-themed post-box topper.

The new topper features a variety of knitted items including sea creatures, a palm tree, the ocean, and a woman sunbathing.

Eagle-eyed Bankies will also spot a nod to the group with a small knitting bag propped up against the palm tree.

The knit and natter group’s post box toppers have become a staple in the area with a new one popping up every couple of months.

Margaret Reid, founder of Maggie’s Yarn Buddies, told the Post that she made the first two herself – one for Remembrance Day and another for Christmas last year.

The most recent topper was a spring-themed one which was installed back in March.

It was the group’s first collaborative project and took nearly six weeks to complete.
