Hi, it's great that so many people are knitting for charity. You may not have seen my previous post telling you about my new charitable venture Knit-for-Nowt, which is appealing to knitters everywhere to donate warm items for all ages. Knit-for-Nowt then donates them to local organisations in Hull and East Yorkshire, which contains some of the worst areas of deprivation in the country. I found that sometimes local people were losing out, as items people knit are often sent abroad. There are thousands of families right here with children suffering through the cold during the winter, (and it's not the children's fault!) Also homeless people, the elderly and refugees fleeing unimaginable horrors in their own countries. My charity concentrates on warm items for people rather than animals or toys etc. If you would like to help, please go to my website www.knitfornowt.org where you'll find full details.
