    I love to see the distribution photos. You can just see how warm they will be!

    A quick question. Our group sent quite a few hats, but we put pom-poms on them. Should they not have pom-poms? I don't see any hats with them in the distribution photos. We will be making more this year and I want to make sure we are doing the right thing.

    Thanks!

      Hi Juli, Ronda does receive pom-pom hats, but not as many as beanies! Pom-poms add weight and size to parcels - thus adding to postage costs!  Additionally, when distributing the team try to keep things much the same so that all sexes are catered for, and, it has been noticed that pom-poms also provide 'pulling' power. When I get a chance I'll ask Ronda about pom-poms and come back!

        Thanks. I wouldn't want to contribute to 'pulling power!' Please let me know. It would give us more yarn and more money for more hats if we left off the pom-pom.

          Hi Juli, Ronda doesn't mind hats with bobbles! She says they will try to take some pics of children wearing bobble hats, but mostly she receives beany type hats! You are quite right though, leaving off the pom pom's could possibly provide another hat!

      I have just noticed all the blankets seem to be beautifully edged, a very professional touch and will help them to stay together !

    Great to see the children receiving blankets and hats as well as cute teddy bears.  Thanks Lindi.

    The weather in Johannesburg has turned cold with a high of 18C and a low of 2C forecast for Tuesday. 

    These children will be cozy and warm.

    Oh look at those darling children and all the helpers. Thank you for the gorgeous images. I have just been to the shop for another spend up on fuel for distribution. Zoom zoom keep the motor running to the children.

      Thanks Maudie.  The KASVan needs its tank filled quite a few times.

      Thank you Lindi another very successful distribution. There are some lovely hats and knitted toys. One little girl with the tan teddy is really loving it ! Thank goodness for the colourful blankets with the colder weather.
