The ladies of the Milford on Sea Knit and Natter Group, which was founded by Jacky Harrison in 2010, recently featured in ITV News.
The group have been busy knitting gifts for New Forest for Ukraine since the start of the crisis.
They knit items for premature babies as well as things like cardigans, hats, scarves and gloves for adults during the winter months.
Around Christmas, the group received a request from the charity organisers to knit pairs of baby socks, with one to be given to the child and the other to be given to the father fighting on the front line 'as a memento'.
