Yes it's Wednesday again and time to pop over to Julia's Stamping ground to see what my fellow crafters are busy making. I haven't managed to get there for a couple of weeks and I nearly didn't today, but I wanted to show you all something amazing. My desk was very clear and tidy this morning, because tomorrow we are coming to UK for a week. But this afternoon I used it to sort through the knitting that I and my friends have done for the Fish and Chip babies in Africa. Please see my previous post if you have no idea what I am talking about.
Anyway, just two weeks ago I asked a few friends to help me knit these little jumpers and beanie hats, and here is what they made. I have no less than eighty, yes 80, sets to bring to UK with me for delivery. People are so generous with their time and materials. I am overwhelmed by their response. They were deliberately asked to knit in dark, bright colours because the garments will probably never be washed. Don't they look great?
Goodness knows whether I will get them all in to my case, but I shall have a jolly good try.
I am afraid I will not get to visit many of you this week, but I will try. I just have a few last minute things that have to be done first. I won't be around next week as that will be our last day, and it will be a very hectic visit, but I will be back as soon as I can.
Oh my!! What a fabulous response. Jean x

Well I'm so late, you're here already! Hope you're having a lovely time back here, if a little dull and cool weather wise! You and your friends have done a great job, those baby swaddled are just the best.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful thing that you and your friends are doing! The little ones will feel snuggly and secure in their jumpers and beanies.
