What have we been doing?

After a bit of lull in posting our progress, I'm glad to report that we've had a number of new rugs finished over the last couple of weeks. We've also had another donation of squares from a very busy group of women - they were responsible for the last donation of over 200 squares some time ago! Thank you very much to these generous women. I'll have photos of the other rugs next week. Thank you also (and again) to our team of "square dancers", two of whom are busy at work in this photo:
Today I'm going to post some photos of our knits for Afghanistan. This photo features one of our little visitors who graciously agreed to model one of the hats for us. Then we have some other hats and a long sleeved jumper based on the pattern that is used for babies in Africa.




Just a reminder - when knitting for Afghanistan, it's really important to use wool, not acrylic. The temperatures get down to minus 20C in winter, and wool is much warmer. That said, nothing goes astray - a few layers of any fibre must help to keep children warm who might otherwise have nothing.






As you can see, we have some very talented knitters in our group. :o)
