A knitted hug that started out as a gift for her son has proven to be a global success story for a mum from Royton. During the Covid-19 lockdown Claire Calverley-Smith and her whole family were shielding after being sadly diagnosed with a very rare type of blood cancer a few years ago.
Stuck indoors and unable to continue with her role as an assistant headteacher, she discovered a love of knitting. For Christmas 2020 her son Lance asked her to knit him a chunky knit cardigan to keep him warm in the winter months ahead.
