Now, I am not much of a knitter, but today was heaven. The wool shop that was having its sale was moving and donating stock to our kinder for their silent auction. When a friend asked if I would help, I thought it would be a small box - but my goodness!!
There was sooooo much wool that we felt bad taking it - but otherwise it was going in the skip! They had called other charities - The Royal Children's Hospital Auxiliary and a group who knits for overseas. They took as much as they could - the problem was that a lot of it was decorative yarn, rather than practical wool.
We went back to her house and unloaded the haul and started to pack it for the kinder silent auction. We have just too much that we will set up an ebay shop in the near future with heaps of wool roving and scarf packs so stay tuned....
Oh, and another nice thing, the 'party' mum from last week asked if she could order some aprons for her nieces and nephews for christmas!
