Hi

 

I am a new member who has been looking for a charity project to join.  This is nice and simple because, even though I can readily knit garments, I find the prospect of freestyle square making to be interesting and enjoyable and I have friends who knit who I can get to join in with this type of project.

      I live about 15 miles up the road and used to work in Crewe so I know its a nice neck of the woods.  Hope you enjoy your visit to your family.

    Hi Sarah, we're really glad to have you with us!  Every square we make goes into a blanket that warms and encourages a child who has nothing.  You'll discover we also have "accidental" slip-ins of soft toys and other supplies into our parcels as they have nothing over there and every bit helps give hope and a way up and out of the poverty they're held in.  I find this charity so positive, no waiting for governments to do something, we're making a concrete difference on our own, from our hands right to them.  I love it....it also spares my family untold amounts of hand-made items they really don't need, we're so blessed over here with material goods anyways. :) Mind you, there was the time my daughter specifically asked for a brightly colored pair of slippers while she was in University.  She ought to have known better than to say that.  Oh they fit her, but wowsers were they ever bright!  I specifically hunted for and bought the brightest yarn I could find. :D  Now the kids in South Africa love bright colors, it visually stimulates them, gives cheer and hope, but I think my daughter will never ask me to do THAT again.  Heh heh heh...  ;)

      Sounds like loads of fun.  I will remember what you said about slipping in gifts, I know someone who knits outfits for teddies and dolls and she's always looking to give them away.  Thanks for the great welcome and you're right, it does sound like you make a concrete difference.

       

      All the best  Sarah. :)
