Have fun.

Am I being thick? I can only see patterns on there. I'd like somewhere I can send the stuff I've made.

Kinsey

glicky go back to the link and scroll down, you'll find links for Loving Hands, Preemies UK etc. Hope that helps.

ISOM have a nice time at the wool shop:)

Loving Hands is a charity you can send items to, ditto Christmas child etc
I give knitted items to:
LEWIS S TRUST CHARITY FURNITURE SHOP
13A, CLIFTON STREET
CARDIFF,
SOUTH GLAMORGAN
CF24 1PX
because they are local to me and I know that they send a truck over to Romania twice a year to an orphanage that they sponsor, and they also take over items for a children's home.

Algerian Action
Algerian Action provide clothing and toys to needy children aged between 0-12 and ‘baby packs’ tomotherswho have nothing for their new-born’s. Suitable patterns are available on the site.
Bonnie Babies
Sends premature baby outfits and blankets to special care baby units around the UK and to parents who need support.
The Baby Pack Project
South African charity which provides a pack of the most basic items needed for a new born baby under-privileged mothers of newborn babies on the lower south coast of Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa. They say that anything you can knit for a baby would be gratefully received, and have a couple of suggested patterns on their website.
Various charitable groups working in Romania listed here:

I'm sure that some would be glad of your knitted items.

Hi everyone - we're back from our lovely evening away. A little bit hungover but nothing that a good snooze on the sofa didn't put right! We had a great barbecue last night, with plenty of lovely local wine, then woke up to a cooked breakfast on the terrace, so we've been thoroughly spoilt. It was quite an international gathering, too, with a mixture of French and British, plus a Danish family who live near our friends. They were fluent in all three languages, too. I crocheted on the way there but just couldn't get my head to work properly on the way back!

Shaz - I can't believe what you're being put through. The aggression and violence are really worrying and, for that reason alone, they should be doing a lot more. Let's hope the phone calls get some results.

Glicky - a very warm welcome to you. I see the girls have filled you in with all the info you need. I do hope you enjoy it here. It is a bit quieter than usual here at the moment but that's probably because the schools are on holiday and people are a lot busier in their gardens, too! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Chalky - amazing photos on FB and your blog! I'm seriously impressed by your DH!

Well, I suppose I'd better think of something to do for dinner - not that I feel much like cooking!
