This year we presented Wrap With Love (WWL) with 107 competed wraps and 577 loose squares. We didn't produce all this by ourselves - many of the wraps and squares were donated by members of the public - most anonymous. We try to sew all the squares we receive in to wraps with crocheted edges and WWL labels sewn on the underside, but this year we had no hope of keeping up with the volume. Fortunately, WWL has a band of dedicated sewers who collect bundles of squares and return completed wraps to the warehouse.
Additionally, we completed 165 items of knitted children's clothing for the Winter Warm Project and Mahboba's Promise.
We have had help from many generous people along the way:
- Bendigo Community Bank, North Epping - a grant of $500 to purchase yarn.
- Cherryhills, the knitting shop at Pennant Hills - donation of yarn for wraps and prizes for the 2009 end-of-year party.
- Yarn & Gifts, the knitting shop at Beecroft - donation of yarn for wraps and prizes for the 2009 end-of-year party.
