My contribution to Make-Grow-Thrift this week is a combination of make and thrift. The knitting group that I belong to, Knitting for Brisbane's Needy, had a Summer Challenge which ends tomorrow. We were making beanies for children in a remote community where the husband of one of the members works. I've had ages to make heaps of beanies (one member made 150!) but I just started the other day as I've been working on other projects. I think the count overall so far is around about 400 beanies!
The navy yarn is some 'frogged' yarn which was in a bag of yarn given to me by a friend, and the colours are scraps from my stash. The navy yarn had been rolled into a big ball and there was more than enough for the 2 beanies. It is satisfying re-using something!
