It's mid August now, and the heatwave that has been affecting most of the country seems to have passed, at least here on Bute as its been raining for 2 days!!
Thoughts are slowly turning towards winter for those of us that are concerned about the homeless and how we can help those who are vulnerable and living on the streets.
As some of you will know, I make crochet beanie hats & scarves & wristwarmers and have been donating them to homeless outreach projects since 2018.
I also support a fab initiative run by designer Masato Jones which helps supply essential items to projects around the UK.
Every winter they sell some fab beanies on a #Buy1Gift1 basis so for every one purchased they donate 1 to homeless projects.
Also this year they are running the #MittenMission asking people to knit (or crochet in my case!!!) mittens and donate them to local homeless outreach projects.
I've not done any of my fingerless wristwarmers for well over a year now but I shall be doing some along with my usual beanie hats & scarves.
Would be fab if lots of you joined in to - just think how many pairs of mittens we could make.
The lovely Granny Fireside has even done a simple pattern for you to follow.
So get your needles out and join the #MittenMission.
