230 pairs of wrist warmers have been made and sent out this year, which makes 392 pairs in total since we started in Oct, 2018.
Plus 104 scarves!!
Our last parcels went out a coule of weeks before Christmas as I didnlt want them getting caught up in the Christmas post so over the festive oeriod we have been busy making lots more scarves ready to send out in the New Year to various homeless outreach projects again.
We have decided to stop with the wrist warmers for a few months and just concentrate on the scarves as the wrist warmers are not really suitable for the really bad weather we get at this time of year.
Unfortunatley as I've said before I can't make "proper" gloves and although the wrist warmers are great for the rest of the year they are not going to keep a pair of hands nicce and warm in the really cold, wet, icy weather we have here.
So I thought it best to concentrate on the scarves for a couple of months and boy, have we been busy over Christmas!!
23 scarves made in just over 3 weeks!!
These will be parcelled up and sent out in the New Year around the UK.
We are looking for some new outreach projects to send items too and trying to find some in areas that we don't yet cover so will keep you updated on that.
For now, we are still busy crocheting.
See you in 2020.
