Craft & Tea
We are putting our grant wool to good use; everyone has been very busy. Last month we sent to charity; 12 headbands, 15 scarves, 1 cot blanket, 16 children’s beanies, 1 child’s vest, 2 scarf and beanie sets, 2 knee rugs, 1 knitted teddy, 5 fingerless gloves, 1 pair mittens, 22 beanies, 2 children’s jumpers, 17 exotic finger puppets, 8 sewn teddies. Wow! And we have lots more wool to go.
Come and join us and meet our friendly group, bring your craft to do, or come and see what the ladies do, mostly a lot of it is talking!
First Monday of the month, 1.30 pm, Bendigo Bank, North Ringwood.
A special request: To make the special hand and finger puppets, all colours of 4 ply wool are needed. The headbands for adults and children have a crocheted flower that would look even more spectacular with a special button sewn in the middle.
If you could help with a donation of either of these, it would be very much appreciated.
A message from Kogo to all our wonderful creative and generous knitters.
Our grateful thanks to Ringwood Clocktower Probus Craft Group (especially Dorothy) for the lovely jumpers and beanies that they so kindly crafted and donated to kogo. We know that the people who receive them will be absolutely thrilled. It gives them an emotional boost to know that someone in the community takes the time and trouble to create such special items to give to people who are suffering hardship.
Our finished garments are distributed through over 300 Community Partner Organisations. These agencies deal with a myriad of people undergoing hardship such as those who are homeless, refugees, children who are at risk, remote indigenous communities, women in refuges and families who are struggling to make ends meet.
Again, thank you so much for being part of our team of wonderful knitters and crocheters and helping us to spread the warmth.
