Days of rain and hailstorms have kept me indoors, although as I write this, the sun's shining brightly in a cloudless sky, so maybe the rain's moved on for now. And what better to do when forced to stay in, than pick up my knitting needles. As we head towards Christmas, Knitting for Brisbane's Needy, who I support from time to time, have put out the call for thousands of little mini stockings that are filled with lollies for small gifts for the homeless and those doing it tough. There's always a great demand for them, and they are asked for from many charities across Queensland. My little handful will hardly make a dent in the numbers required, but so far, at least, there's half a dozen more people who won't feel forgotten, come Christmas Day.
I'll probably only knit these few, but I'll sew some in felt as well, as they're much quicker to make.
For the first time, I'm linking with Janine of the Rainbow Hare for Wool on Sundays. Even if you don't knit or crochet, Janine has lots of pretty things on her blog......it's the place where she shares her adventures in yarn and fabric .....so it's worth a visit.
Back out to the garden now, a perfect time to weed and plant, with the soil damp and easy to dig.
Till next time.......
Till next time.......
