I am by no means a knitter. But when I heard about a group of knitters here in New Zealand that make baby vests & beanies for the babies in Africia who are sent home from hospital in newspaper and with no clothing on I wanted to learn to make more then just scalves. My mother who is a talented knitter patiently taught me to the knit the simple patterns I was given from the group.
One of my goals this year was to spend more time volunteering for charity and people less fortunate - and knitting is one of those charities I choose to step up my giving too (I have been knitting for the past 18 months or so).
The photo is my February knits, I have a goal to knit at least two items a week for this year.
This sounds like a great charity.
