A while ago I saw a call for beanies for Cancer kids on Pink Hair Girl's knitting blog.. I thought it was a fabulous idea to give back to those that need to know someone else is thinking about me in a time of great distress. But me, not having knitted a stitch for many many years (make that 20), knew even if I started right then, I would not be able to make one in a month. Then the thought crossed my mind that I knew a great community of knitters that every year do some knitting for charity. So I spoke to my mom and the "tannies" (older ladies) in het retirement community and thanks to them I am going to post 33 beanies on Monday. Some have wonderful details and some are just knitted with great wool.
Oh so gorgeous! Julia will be very impressed with this!
ReplyDeleteDug out my needles and wool yesterday so may just add some myself xx
Thank you so much, I keep going to the post office to collect hats and I am so overwhlemed by how kind people have been. A huge thank you to all the ladies that knitted.
