This months knitted gifts are the two red cardigans my granddaughter Isabelle asked me to knit for her.
Finally finished in time for the new school term next week.
Each one very different but they do fit her nicely and she was pleased with them both.
The gift of support is something that I am very grateful for.
My lovely daughter held a cake bake and raffle at her place of work to raise awareness of Relapsing Polychondritis and money for the charity RPUK
A lot of people donated prizes for the raffle and Amy made 250 cakes and some cookies to sell during the event.
A huge thank you to friends who visit here, family and those who attended on the day and to all who donated to the Just Giving page to boost the fund and help Amy reach her target. There is still quite a bit of money yet to be added to the total she tells me.
Love and blessings to all
Julie
I can remember the joy of sending my daughters to school in hand knitted cardigans, they wore red as well.
