Oh but you are creative, Witzend. You are taking raw materials and making them in textile art, decorative and useable objects … and inspiring others to try their own hands as making things.
Some months ago you posted about making colourful lengthways scarves, one colour per row and leaving all the ends to make knotted fringes. Inspired by your post, I have been eating through my yarn scrap stash and have made several for Knit for Peace.
If I can tag onto your thread to say what Knit for Peace do and don’t need at the moment:
We need:
blankets: all sizes (baby, child, medium, large and lap)
adult clothes: jumpers/cardigans, scarves, socks, gloves/mitts, dressing gowns, shawls
baby clothes: jumpers/cardigans, hats, mitts, booties
children’s: scarves, socks and mitts
knitted toys for babies and children
We don’t need: hats (child & adult sizes), child jumpers/cardigans, twiddlemuffs, squares and premature baby clothes. Please do not send us any of these items at the moment.
Thank you.
