Winter Warmers for the Sally Army.

Last year I decided to make items of knitwear for The Canaan Trust a Christian Charity for Local Homeless Men. This year I am knitting for the Ladies.

A suggestion was made that I try asking if the Salvation Army would be interested in said items. So I went along to their weekly Friday Coffee Morning and asked.

They said they would be delighted to have some items. They do have both a table top and a local shop but these items are being taken when they go visiting the elderly and infirm in their homes.

Therefore last Friday (5^th Feb 2016) I took in the items I had knitted so far including one I finished at the Coffee Morning.

Ladies Scarves

 

The above scarves were knitted in a variety of stitches which accounts for the undulating shape. The stitches used were Plain, Purl, Moss and Rib.

Large Blankets for Back or Legs

The Blankets pictured were all knitted in Garter Stitch (Plain)

Foot Blanket

And finally last but not least a…

Hand Blanket

The above mini blanket was the one I finished on site with barely 10 minutes to spare. I am still knitting but at a less hectic pace. I have a huge craft project to do which is going to take a great deal of concentration and work. However I am sure I will find something that will whet your appetite long before that is ready : )
