Easter Challenge and Different Mediums!

Hello Again!

Just an update for you all - hope you have all been watching the Forum as that is where all the daily news is posted and you can get to know all the other members! (Link to the Forum from the website www.lovinghands.org.uk ). Hopefully more of you will be brave enough to sign in on the Forum and start posting the occaisional comments - we do love to get to know everyne and see what we are all up to!

The Easter challenge is going fantastically - Fridays countdown on the Forum was:-

Sailors Hats 91
Boobs 52
Toys 63

We are doing brilliantly and we still have till Easter Sunday to go (23rd March this week so another 6 weeks to watch those totals go soaring way over what we asked for - keep up the good work girls!).


After my search for members using different mediums we have now got some more sitchers on board and have had interest shown by some machine knitters - this is fantastic as we will be able to expand our reach and help more people and animals with the help of these lovely ladies! Suzanne is going to get me started off with my newly acquired sewing machine on Monday as she has cut out some Angel Pockets so she can show me how to assemble them properly - I am really looking forward to the challenge (it will never take over from my knitting obviously but it will be a great way to make sure we have enough Angel Pockets and Burial Gowns for all the maternities on our lists). Arlene from UK Sewing has now decided to join us as a stitcher as well and hopefully some of her stitching friends might be interested as well - thank you Arlene - I will pass all your details on to Suzanne on Monday and the two of you can have a chat about what we need :0)

So it is definitely full speed ahead for Loving Hands! What a great start to the year! We have also been mentioned not just once but twice in the new edition of Let's Knit magazine so hopefully that will bring in some new members too!

We now have 100 members from all over the UK and every one a gem :0)

God Bless you all - keep up the good work!
