Hats (and mittens) off

I decided to have a bit of a rummage up in the loft last weekend and came across a box of crochet items that were originally made for sale. I haven’t had a stall at any event for a while, so these had slightly fallen off my radar and I decided to sort some out to donate to charity, adding them to the small collection of hats that I have made recently.

In the end, there were 13 hats and 5 pairs of fingerless mittens. These will be on their way to Knit for Peace very soon. In addition, I added three pairs of knitting needles to the box. Apparently KfP are always in need of needles suitable for double knitting wool – 3.75, 4 and 4.5 mm – so if you too have any of these sizes going spare, they’d be delighted to receive them.

I do love a woolly hat, such a shame I have no opportunity to wear them… What a double win: you clear some space, and people who need them get cosy hats and mittens.

  In the middle of a bit of a heatwave here, so (unusually) I currently don’t have much use for a woolly hat!

    And I suppose there may be a limit on how many woolly hats one woman can actually wear…?

Well, they probably won’t appreciate them this week ;)) but soon enough. What a stash!

Never a need for a hat here unless it is a sun hat but I am sure they will come in handy for those who do 🙂

I picked up several pairs of knitting needles that were being given away but knitting just doesn’t do anything for me, so I’ll find out how to donate to KfP.

  I’m sure they will be very grateful… and it’s always good to pass on stuff to someone you know will use it.

    Yes, it’s good to know that something will be used rather than being passed to the bin.
