Our creative knitters in Knitting Club created some ‘twiddle muffs’ , which are used for dementia patients. People with dementia often have restless hands and like to have something to keep their hands occupied. The ribbons, buttons, and beads attached to the muffs provide a great source of visual, tactile and sensory stimulation for the patients, whilst keeping their hands warm.
Suzannah, Heather and Hannah presented the muffs to Nicola Jack, a charge nurse at Accident and Emergency in University Hospital Wishaw. Well done, girls, they look fantastic!
