Hi knitters, crocheters and quilters! Who's interested in joining me craft and gather together a collection of blankets / wraps (sized from 30cm x 30cm up to 60cm x 60cm), beanies / hats and booties to send to Little Angels Memory Boxes* (LAMB).
There are some patterns and sizing guidelines here: Link

It is not necessary to use these particular patterns, so please feel free to be creative and use whatever pattern you like!
This is such a worthy cause, and I am hoping that many crafty Bubhubbers will pitch in an help :fingerscrossed:
Many thanks in advance to those generous enough to share their time, skills and resources to help families in their time of loss and heartache :cuddle:
