Lovely to see, I bet your family love them! I have a family member who makes blankets and quilts for various charities, should you have the inclination one day? You may be able to use donated wool as I am sure those are expensive to make.

Is that in the uk? I may like to do that, as we all have too many blankets and I find that doing them is a good therapy for me.

Yes, I think approach a charity you like and ask for their help, I wonder if the WI might have some pointers too? Maybe ring the area office and ask? I did some quick research online, googled 'crochet blankets for charity UK' here is the first link, there are also more there that are promising lovinghands.org.uk/home/458... Then I tried to search for free wool but I think you need a local contact for that. Ask your local newspaper to put out a plea and have people deliver to a store that would support this for you. If you provide a jolly pic surrounded by blankets, crocheting, and some words and details of the charity (contact them first, they may help- or not!) Good luck!

Hi Isabel.

I really like your blanket. My mother makes quilts and sends them to Ataxia UK so they can be sold in a raffle.

Best wishes
