Charity Knitting

Mum and I have been busy with our charity project for the last few weeks, and now have over two dozen ventilator bonnets ready to post out for Sunrise’s Senior Living’s annual ‪#‎KnitforWinter‬ campaign.  I was given the green yarn to get started with, and we're now adding some other colours from our own stashes to add to the pile.  The design is super easy to knit and only takes a few grams in the tiny sizes.  You can download patterns and details here:  http://www.sunrise-care.co.uk/blog/november-2015/knit-for-winter-first-touch.aspx

If you'd like to help, knit a bonnet or two and help a tiny newborn survive the winter.

When I was a young girl living in Alabama, my grandmother would always teach me the fundamentals of knitting. At first, I was unable to follow the instructions given by my grandmother. I wasn't good with my hands, to be honest. But as I grew up, my knitting skills enhanced. Knitting became my favorite hobby during free time. It was then my teacher noticed my knitting products. She told me to help the needy by knitting clothes for them. That's why I frequently donate my products to charity.
