Loving Hands

It happens every time ... someone will drop off a bag of knitted jumpers, cardi's, hats, mittens and slippers; and my heart is full of gratitude. I feel so privileged to know such lovely ladies!

​These ladies knit the most beautiful garments for children that live on the other side of the world.  Children that they may never meet or get to know; who will not be able to say 'thank you' in person or give a grateful hug.  Yet the knitting still comes - beautifully hand crafted, warm and cute items for these children to wear.

As a knitter myself, I know how much time and effort goes into making these garments. It's not just a case of picking up some needles and a garment is created.  The ladies search for the right pattern to knit; select colours that will match and work well together; sew the individual pieces together; and finally ensure they have selected the buttons that perfectly compliment or decorate each garment. 

So today we want to say a big THANK YOU​ to Alison, Lois, Carole, Kay, Pat and Janet - we truly appreciate all the effort you make to bring joy to these children that live on the other side of the world.
