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!
