Blankets, blankets and more blankets

Let's Blanket Halton

was a great success again this year!



Thelma - put lots of blankets together, Cathy from Links2Care, Officer from Georgetown Salvation Army and Me



Thanks to so many of you making squares and putting the blankets together

 we were able to donate over 120 blankets to local organizations this year.

The blankets where also donated to Halton Womans Place.

I am very proud to say that in the 15 years we have been doing this community project

we have donated  - on your behalf - over 1500 blankets in the community

 - also thousands of hats, mitts and scarves.

Way to go knitters and crocheters!!

We always need more yarn, knitters/crocheters and people to put the blankets together.

Hope to see you soon to help with

Let's Blanket Halton.

We need your HELP!

We need your HELP!

Believe it or not, because so many of our wonderful customers and friends are knitting blanket squares for Let's Blanket Halton, we have run out of donated yarn. This ongoing program depends on your donated and recyled yarn. Unfortunately I have had to turn knitters away as we do not have any yarn to give them.

Please check your stashes - I know you have stashes! - and bring in all the knitting worsted weight yarn that you can spare. You can bring in other weights of yarn also and we will make sure it all gets to a good home.

Check with your friends, neighbours and co-workers. I am sure that they have stashes also.

This is a recent picture of lots of knitted squares just waiting to be put together.

A special thanks to all of you who have donated yarn, made squares and/or put the blankets together.

Looking forward to seeing you when you bring in some "stash" yarn for Let's Blanket Halton.
