    About

    I started knitting a few items for the fayre and before I knew it I had two boxes full. So I asked if they would like me to take a stall to sell them. I did and had an enjoyable day selling my creations and talking to the customers. My stall raised £105 for the Hospice. I was absolutely delighted. There were some items left over and these went to the Hospice day centre and were also sold to add to the funds.

    Other : I used beads to embellish some of the items as they are intended for ornament rather than toys. I also stitched some Merry Christmas confetti to the little stockings and sequin stars onto the mini mittens.
