@"Beryl C."..The local charity knitting in my area consists only of knitting squares for blankets which are donated to the fistula hospital opened by Dr Hamlyn (I think Etheopia). I find squares to be totally mind numbing. Although postage costs a bomb, I knit for three different charities in South Africa. One gives hand to hand (so no missing work being syphoned off by unscrupulous staff) to destitute mothers and their newborns. Moms have been seen taking their babies home wrapped in newspaper from state hospitals. I also send winter wear to a clinic supporting rural children with disabilities. Kids on crutches, in wheelchairs, blind, intellectually disabled and so on. Then I also support a charity supporting children in the oncology ward at Grey's Hospital in Pietermaritzburg. So as much as my wallet allows, I have more than enough to knit. Here is a photo of one little girl with her new turban hat.
