Knit for human rights

I have received an email from Amnesty International. They asked if I would like to donate
a piece of knitted art to their fund raising art auction in Auckland in late June.

All proceeds will go towards continuing Amnesty International’s important work in
the Pacific on issues such as gun violence, domestic violence and the situation in Fiji.

Of course I will donate a piece!

Will you place a bid?

Stay tuned

Knitters Unite for Climate Change

A friend sent me a message about
Oxfam organising a protest
around Climate Change.

An action will take place at Aotea Square this Saturday (12 December).
They are trying to get 800 metres of knitting and will make a trail from
Aotea Square to Britomart. Unfortunately I have other commitments
on Saturday so I can’t join in, but at least I can send a piece.

So last Friday I caught up with 2 friends over a bottle of wine.
A and I brought our needles and A had nicked some yarn from her
daughter’s craft box! Look at her colourful piece!

I used my fluffy yarns. Tonight I was going to finish my piece
and my lovely 8-year old daughter wanted to join in. We sew on some
beautiful silk and she wrote some messages on them.
