Hook, Yarn & Needles
We are a group of ladies trying to make a difference in our community. Your support enables us to continue with our works of love. Thank you!
Hook, yarn & Needles is a group of ladies that gets together once a week to either knit or crochet items, mainly blankets, for the underprivileged in our community. In order to buy the wool for this very worthy cause we rely on your very kind monetary of Yarn donations. All cash donated buys wool to enable us to continue with our worthy cause. We hope that you will support us in our charity work by kindly making donations to us.
As the saying goes, "Busy hands achieve more than idle tongues!"
More gorgeous work from the ladies.
We're not even half way through October and look at what some of the ladies have whipped up with their magic wands!
Keep up the good work, ladies!
Happy Heritage day to all!
Today is a good day for us to huddle under our crochet work, in the cooler weather, and do what we love best.
Some of the beautiful blankets made this month already by the ladies, ready to be distributed to those who need them most.
Thank you Joan Demmer , Gaelyn Adamson and Lynn le Roux π
Just a smattering collection of what the ladies have done for August. A lot more blankets were made, but sadly I don't have all the photos.
We have also started toys for Christmas which will be added to the blankets when we hand them out.
Keep up the good work ladies. π
The ladies have had a busy month.
We donated 14 blankets to The Lighthouse Baby Shelter - Main Page and in the process made a few more blankets for our next project.
By December we hope to have many more blankets and toys for our Christmas donations.
Gorgeous, colourful,and warm blankets made by the Hook, Yarn & Needles ladies. These blankets will be going to The Lighthouse Baby Shelter - Main Page and their out reach programme in the local community.
Yesterday the Hook, Yarn and Needles made another visit to the Wellinkwise Nursery School once again to deliver all the ponchos to the children.
They were received with much excitement as they children chose their favourite colours.
A photo dump of some of the beautiful ponchos crocheted (and knitted) for the children when at school to keep them warm whilst playing and learning.
It has been awhile since we last posted, but our ladies have not been idle, in fact anything but idle.
On 24 April we handed over blankets to the children and teachers of Wellinkwise Nursery School for their nap time.
We're sure you'd all agree that there is nothing nicer than rolling into a warm blanket to have a snooze.
