Outreach projects 2022

 Our members have been working on a few projects for the year thus far.

First project for the year was pencil pouches for our local CVO kindergarten class.






We also knitted neck warmers and beanies for the Lerato Kindergarten School.






Non perishable products are collected during every general meeting and given to institutions caring for the needy.  We are also continuing to knit for premature babies and recently added the octopi toys which help in keeping them calm.



Dog beds made with scraps was donated to the local SPCA.

We will be donating knitted teddy bears to Life Rose Park Hospital at the end of the year.
