Do you love to knit/crochet, want to help the needy?

We invite other knitters/crocheters to join us and knit/crochet at your own pace at home, work or wherever to make items to be donated to charities who assist the homeless; abused; women/children's refuges; needy families; prem babies; cancer patients, animal shelters etc. The charities must give the items we donate DIRECTLY to those in need.

   
 
2008 Over 22,000
2007 Over 5,014
2006 Over 2,940
 

Charities have told us how much this would be appreciated as people don't tend to donate warm clothing for Queensland's needy as they think it doesn't get cold enough here, but it does especially for those living on the streets in the cold and wet. They also like to be able to give some NEW items to the needy as it boosts their self confidence.

So get those needles working...anything - booties, bonnets, beanies, scarves, jumpers, cardigans (for babies, children and adults) and even knitted toys would be greatly appreciated. There is no pressure to make any particular number of items, just whatever you can do will be great!
And if you think that one donation wouldn't help please consider this

That one item that you make will make a world of difference to somebody in need!

"Since inception in 2006 until end of 2008, over 22,000 donations have been made by members and distributed to the less fortunate, we have had 22.000 items donated which has helped homeless, prem babies, youth in crisis, aboriginal settlement; animal refuges, aged homes, families in need and a crisis centre for women/children. Up to date we have 265+ online members and approx 100 members who don't have access to computers! but always need more willing knitters/crocheters/loomers etc.
Thanks to all who have donated their time, skills, and love for helping the needy.

So please join us in our quest to help the less fortunate than ourselves!
