Bute Beanies

Back at the very start of 2022 I started my "make a beanie a day" challenge.

The plan was to crochet a beanie hat, I called them "ButeBeanies", every day and therefore by Xmas I would have over 350 of them to send out to homeless outreach projects around the UK ready for the winter.

However, whilst the challenge is still ongoing and running to plan I have virtually run out of beanies to send out.

That's because I have been sending out parcels throughout the year, up and down the country.

Parcels have gone to various places in London & Glasgow, as well as Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Gloucester, Wigan, Sussex, Brighton, Liverpool, Southend, Cardiff & Hull.

I usually send out 18 in each parcel but some of the parcels have been a bit smaller as stock was running low and that was al I had at the time that they were requested.

I don't charge for the items I make; I donate them to where-ever they are requested. 

I guess the cost of living crisis is hitting many people and things are hard for so many.

I know a handmade beanie hat isn't much in the grand scheme of things but every bits helps I guess.

Hopefully I will be able to get a few more parcels out in the post before Xmas - guess I better get back to making some more.

See you next time.
