Australian Inland Mission

The Australian Inland Mission was formed by John Flynn, the same person who started what is now known as the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

Australian Inland Mission is now known as the Presbyterian Inland Mission.

I was the contact point for warm clothing and accessories donated to this organisation through the members and friends of Knit4Charities during the month of April. The items will be distributed to Aboriginal communities, mostly in remote regions of the Northern Territory.

This year we received 510 wonderful donations. Thanks to everybody who contributed.

These pictures are a desperate attempt by DD and I to photograph all the items.

255 beanies/hats:






54 scarves

19 pairs mitts and gloves (there are also five scarves in this picture)

9 blankets and 2 baby wraps

10 teddies, 2 sunhats, 2 pairs slippers, five pouches and two pairs jeans (new)

9 neckwarmers and headbands, 27 pairs of socks/booties/slippers

10 ponchos/vests

99 jumpers/cardigans/vests (sweaters)

Beanies by Lynne

Only two beanies to show this month; I have been busy with other things and my beanie-knitting-circulars are otherwise occupied! LOL




Neither of these are textured knitting, unless you count the texture created by slip stitching or by semi-textured yarn.

They have joined dozens of their brethren in going to Presbyterian Inland Missions - one of the April Charities of the Month at Knit4Charities. If you're clever you may be able to find them in the first photo in the previous post!!
