Knitters ahoy!

I've just discovered Baby Pack Project which provides a basic new baby pack to mothers in South Africa. I have rather a lot of old nappies, which are one of the things they sau very rarely gets donated, and was planning on sending some.

Would any of you like to add some knitted stuff to the bundle? They have some suggested patterns, but basically they want jumpers/cardigans, socks/bootees, blankets and toys. I'll probably throw in a pair of booties, but I don't have a lot of knitting time compared to the things I have that need finishing, right now....

I'm a hopeless knitter myself, but I'm happy to put the word out about this on my crafty site where I'm compiling a big list of charity craft projects at the mo. People pver there will most deff be able to help.

ooh, cool, thankyou.

(I was particularly looking for somewhere to send chemo caps to in the UK, so if you find any of those, that would be good!)

It would take me far to long to knit anything but I have some secondhand aio nappies that we were given and have never used which I could drop down to you to put in a bundle. I'm planning to be down your general direction daytime Thursday and could drop off then.

That sounds excellent, thankyou! I'm at work until about quarter to four, and our house is a tip and not very small-child-friendly, but Colin works from home so should be available.

I'm managing to be so ditzy atm. The meeting which I thought was on Thursday turns out to be on Friday. All other information remains correct. So, I could drop the secondhand AIO off on Friday lunchtime-ish.
