Hello and thanks for visiting my blog. I have been knitting on and off for 50 years and I recently learned to crochet. I love looking for wool bargains and making them into something useful. I mainly knit for charity. I occasionally knit for myself and family members if I find a really good pattern or if they ask nicely!!

On the road again.....



Greenfields Africa has a truck leaving the UK and heading for Kenya and Uganda  in about 3 weeks time.  It will be bringing much needed clothing and blankets to families who can't afford them.  Here's my little contribution: 8 hats and a baby jumper.  Bright colours are positively welcomed in these countries and, as the nights can be very cold, the mothers like to put jumpers and cardigans on their babies.

I posted these off today.  I normally wait until I have enough items to fill a box.  But that would have meant keeping these here until maybe next year.  I'd rather they were used as soon as possible.

Keep on trucking..............

  4. Oh I'm so glad you alerted me to the fact that a shipment is going out. I'll send them my 6 months worth of items rather than wait until the end of the year. Thanks!

    1. I think the truck leaves on August 21st. I rushed mine off because I don't know how often they go there.
