There were two days when I only managed a brief 10 minute knit [looking after grandchildren was keeping me rather busy] but in total I've knitted for over 60 hours not counting today, And my generous sponsors [thank you all] have helped me to raise over £450 for the Bone Cancer Research Trust. My JustGiving Page will be open for another two weeks, and I'm hoping to pass the £500 mark.
What did I knit? One of my Christmas Projects, and a lot of little mini-jumpers. But the second project [a knitted nativity] has languished untouched. I realised that I didn't actually like it! Mary, Joseph and Jesus were knitted in Dorset, but not sewn up. I may just complete those three and make a little stable - without the collection of angels, animals, shepherd and magi outside...
I have enjoyed the challenge, and the opportunity to promote a very worthwhile cause. And the weather has certainly proved an encouragement to stay inside.
Well done on all those hours of knitting - hope you don't have RSI!
ReplyDeleteI did try and space it out through the day and intersperse with other activities
DeleteMy mum knitted Mary and Joseph and most importantly baby Jesus many years ago. They come out every year and my younger cousins remember them from their childhood which is lovely
ReplyDeleteThose are the three important characters after all.
DeleteWell done on completing the challenge. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue. I had a message from a different charity who are doing a similar thing through December, asking if I'd like to participate. I declined!! Not sure it's the best time of year tbh, people will have all their Christmas stuff going on.
