Hi everyone.

I just wanted to tell you all about my situation and then explain this post. My OH retired in 2007 and we now spens about half the year (the cold half !!! ) in Spain. I have been knitting a lot for Loving Hands and a little for Premiess UK.


I went back tp Yoga class this morning after the Christmas Break and before Christmas the lovely lady who runs the class asked for some presents for the Orphanage in our nesrby town. I sent a sock monkey. I asked whether the presents had been well received this morning and she said they had. She then went on to say that a new baby had come to the home and they had no baby clothes whatsoever. Well of course I thought how sad it was and have already got my needles clicking but I was wondering if any of you kind souls could help with a little donation of a knitted item. Apparently the orphanage is not funded and relies on donations and even though they are desperate for baby clothes other knitted items would also be very welcome.

Kathy I in no way want to hijack this wonderful thread and all the other wonderful causes we all knit for but if anyone would like to help you could pm me and I could give you my sister in laws address in the UK as she is coming out to see me in 3 weeks and she could bring anything with her. If anyone needs help with the postage I would willingly send a cheque or refund your postage via Paypal
Thank you for reading this post and best wishes to you all

Hi all - I'm still busy here and will update later or, more likely, tomorrow morning, but I wanted to say, Chalky, that I'll be more than happy to send something for that poor little one at the orphanage. Please don't think you are hijacking the thread - every little baby is a good cause and I hate to think of the poor little mite with no clothes of its own.

Kathy - can you update me with 1 BABY BLANKET please.

Chalky - count me in, I have a baby cardi here and a jumper on the go at the mo you are welcome to them. If you pm me the address I will send them and anything else I can do in the time, please dont worry about refunding the postage, my OH pays all mine, he says thats his contribution to the charities I knit for.

Shazrobo - thanks for sending the pattern I printed it off, just got to get some yellow wool and its all systems go

Hi a vent hat has a little flap that allows the hospital staff to administer drugs or monitors etc without having to disturb the baby
