Normal service will be resumed shortly.

As coronovirus sweeps the country and most of the world, everyone is having to make decisions and that includes me.

I have taken the decision to temporarily suspend the posting out of the parcels of scarves & beanie hats that I have been making and donating to homeless outreach projects around the UK. 

I rely on my husband to go into town to the PO for me and as we both have health issues, neither of us can afford to be in a situation where we might be infected. 

It was a hard decison to make as I know just how bad the situation is for those who are homeless especially at the moment but I will be directing my efforts elsewhere to help raise awareness of the work that others are doing. . 

Thank you to everyone who has supported the work I do with donations of yarn, it is much appreciated. 

I shall still be crocheting and building up a stock of scarves & beanies to send out at a later date.

Spring is on the way, apparently!!!

Well, we are now into March and Spring is nearly upon us, apparently!!

I say apparently, because up here on the west coast of Scotland, whilst we might have had a few days of sunshine, it is still very cold and I can see that there is still snow on the hills from my window!!

Thankfully, I don't have to sleep outside at night, huddled in a shop doorway somewhere. But plenty of people have no choice and the recent visits by Storm Dennis & Storm Jorge must have been unbearable.

I follow a lot of homeless outreach projects on social media and they have been working flat out to provide hot food & drinks, sleeping bags, socks, warm clothing etc.

As you know if you've been following the blog or the updates on the FB page I have been concentrating on making crochet beanies and have so far this year made 144, most of which have been sent out around the UK. 

I've been averaging around 15/18 beanies a week!!!

Been using up my yarn stash!!

This weekend I shall be making up another couple of parcels to go out in the post next week. 

Don't forget to check out the website and keep up to date on what I've been up to there.

Until next time!!
