A Bed of Wool


Literally a bed of wool.

This is the pile of wool from Mother -in -Law.

I have kept a small amount for a couple of 
crochet projects I want to do
and gave some to a friend 
who is having Chemo at the moment and
 needed something to occupy her 
so has got her knitting needles out.

The rest has been sent to various places
including  a group in Norfolk called
who make  items for a variety of charities
and with one of their collection points just around the corner
 quite a lot went to them.



Thank you all for your help with this and for
 just being there in the first place
to ask advice from.

Do You Know a Worthy Charity?

Before I start can I say a huge Thank You for the comments I had received
for my last 2 posts, they were very much appreciated and really help me
get back on my feet again.



Now I need your help.
Those of you who have followed me for a little while will know that my Mother-in-Law
has been passing on all her crafting supplies to me-
well the reason she has been doing this is that she is very poorly
and wants to get her things sorted so it isn't left for us to do.
She has always been a prolific knitter and 
her cupboards are full of unused balls of wool.
There is a mixture of odd left over balls but also dozens of balls bought for projects 
that were either never started, not finished or just because she liked the wool.
It ranges from Mohair to 100% cotton.

The problem I have is that 

I DON'T KNIT.

So Mum and I wondered if any of you know a charity that would make use of all this wool.
I am prepared to parcel it up and send it off to them as long as we know it is going to a good home.

 I know we could give it to a charity shop but we feel that on the whole they don't appreciate
bundles of wool and it is usually found pushed under a shelf in the corner which annoys MiL.

So if you know of somewhere or maybe could ask your followers and then send me 
a message it would help greatly and put her mind at rest.

Look forward to hearing from you.
