THE nights are drawing in and a group of ladies are looking for any spare knitting wool – to enable them to create more like this.

Sam Nicholson-Munt, of Ladbrokes in Abingdon, has a group of ladies – the Knitting Nannies – who have been beavering away to produce a colourful collection of greyhound coats.

The sole purpose is to make sure dogs that the Oxford Retired Greyhound Trust have in there kennels are kept warm in the winter.

But they would like more wool to ensure that these ladies can keep up their good work.
