2023 Gift Making and Charity Crochet/Knitting

[judianne]

Good morning busy crafting people!

The idea of a dedicated thread for gift making and charity crafting  seems to resonate with many of you, so here we are again!

We love pictures, and I'm sure if anyone is looking for ideas or help, there will be likely be people here who can offer either or both. 

Happy crafting...and above all, just enjoy whichever hobby your favorite one happens to be.

So glad we are back!

Just finished this little crocheted hat for my granddaughter's first birthday. I sure hope it fits. I did make it a bit big so hopefully (fingers crossed) that it fits.

Well, I have posted the fall dress, here is the Spring dress.  I have to get a picture of the Summer and I am working on the Winter dress.   This will be going to Baily4's charity.

Pretty. If it doesn’t fit maybe she has a stuffie or doll that it will.

I was reading the county newsletter for last month before deleting it and noticed the local library has a knit/ crochet charity club now. 
Several types of projects for different needs. One of which asked for washcloths for hospice patients. I have 3 made and working on another heart. (Priscilla Hewitt pattern 2000)

10 washcloths donated for hospice.  Sent dh to the library as I ended up with a vertigo attack.

Very pretty washcloths and I am sure they will be appreciated. Hope you are feeling better now.
