Calling all busy crafters....I'm advertising this competition on behalf of Knit-for-Nowt. I can vouch that this is a fantastic organisation that needs and will find homes for all your creations.
The monsters go to social workers who help traumatised children. It doesn't take long to make one of these and they are a great way to use up scraps of yarn and material.

ReplyDeleteHi Una, this does sound like a wonderful thing to do. We have a similar organization in the US - the knitters make a simple pattern in the shape of a bear. The pattern may be simple but the creativity of the knitters (and crocheters) makes each little bear unique. They are used by first responders for children who cross their path in that work. Such a worthy effort.
