the kindness of stitchers

At the end of April, It was my privilege to collect items donated to Australian Inland Mission, the charity of the month over at Knit4Charities. These items will be taken by a local pastor to Aboriginal communities in central Australia.

Twenty-eight fabulous stitchers from around Australia contributed a total of 264 items, which DD and I enjoyed sorting and photographing last Saturday. The items were knitted, crocheted and sewn.

  2. Great result Lynne! I sometimes think some of the K4C group must knit in their sleep to produce so many items every month. I do a lot of knitting but I can't keep up with some of the others in the group.
