Better late than never!!

This week has been manic, hence it taking me a week to post pictures of the Halloween party.
It went really well, I only took a couple of pictures of the fancy dress costumes as when people starting arriving I just didn't stop!




Bats


A huge spider


Loits of blood!





On Thursday morning we went to the annual handover of one of the knitting groups that we knit for.
Everything that's been knitted in the last twelve months is put on tables for everyone to look around and see, the representatives from each charity then gives a little thank you speech and we have tea and cakes, it really is a lovely way to spend a morning.

Blankets for Syria


Barbie and Ken dolls for shoeboxes


Jumpers, mitten and socks for Uganda


 Scarves and hats


More hats, some are for the Fishermen's Mercy Mission and some for shoeboxes.


The lady that gave the speech for the shoeboxes said that they try to include a hat in every shoebox as whoever receives a box always puts the hat straight on.
Going to this handover always gives me more inspiration to knit more than the last year for the next years meeting.

    1. Thanks Vicky. Eden cut out a template and it seemed to take her forever to do all the bats. There were so many of them!
