I've been (slowly) knitting beanies using some donated wool from a group which does knitting and sewing for those in need. Beanies for men were needed so from the big box of wool I chose some brown and a smaller ball of cream. This group does good work for the community but the day of the week they meet doesn't suit me so I've decided not to join them after all. But of course I needed to pop in and return the beanies to them. I managed to get three large and one child's beanies out of the wool I had, with just a tiny bit left over. So I'm really pleased with that.
Beanies for donation
I've also donated the remaining two unicorn cushions I made earlier, these are going to Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, and I'm sure a couple of young girls will enjoy them. The drop off point is a wool shop in Paraparaumu Beach, which worked out well, as we were traveling down to the area to meet friends for lunch.
These two will be finding new homes
We met our friends at Club Vista, a place we hadn't visited before. The lovely big windows in the restaurant have a great view over the Returned Services Memorial and Kapiti Island in the background.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal with our friends, a great lunch, and it's always so nice to have a good catch up with old friends.

The beanies are fabulous, Jenny. I chose the perfect fiber colors for men. And love the darling cushions. They are so cheerful. I hope they bring comfort and joy to those who receive them. Hugs.
Very nice donations. The beanies turned out very well, and I am sure two lovely young ladies will enjoy those cushions.

Great beanie idea! I crochet hats and scarves for my local homeless project and even donate yarn as well. Keep up the great work. Your donations will be greatly appreciated♥
