They get involved in all sorts of different projects to help ordinary families who are facing extraordinary circumstances. We’d like to do something to help them now and through this auction are hoping to raise a good sum.

The blanket is made in superwash merino so can be machine washed on a gentle 30 degree cycle, dry flat or draped over something. Knitted and crochet squares combine to make this glorious effect. Thank you so much to lovely Wendy P for constructing this beauty. x

And the blanket… our blanket… it’s so beautiful. We have all sat together amazed at the skill and poring over the individual squares, looking at it brings such happy memories of Pokemon hunts, giggles, cuddles, sunny days by the sea, smiles and love.
We are all overwhelmed by how beautiful it is and have already spent hours snuggled together under it, comforted by it.
Thank you, and Knotty, and the crafters and the donors. It is perfect and wonderful and a beautiful reminder of our wonderful Joseph.
Thank you xxx
Joseph touched the hearts and lives of so many, as did his mum, ours included. Many of us followed their ongoing journey, that rocky old road, dedicating our ‘splodges of light’ around the globe as we thought of them, always sending love. Devastatingly their beautiful boy died from neuroblastoma in July. Words don’t seem enough. We are so sorry. J will live long in our memories, bless him. xx
With the love and support from so many, we made two blankets and were so pleased to be able to get a photo of them together, on the left is the blanket for the family and on the right the blanket we will auction for the charity of their choice which is Candlelighters. This auction will take place parallel to our Spring Craft Sale in March. Thank you so much everyone xxxx
Our original thread for Trazzles is here
We are delighted to be launching our Chernobyl Project 2018!
For the last four years we have been making warm, comforting Little Hugs for Belarusian teenagers and children visiting the UK for recuperative holidays during the summer with the fabulous charity the Chernobyl Children’s Project and Chernobyl Children’s Lifeline.
Each year these marvellous charities bring children who live in the most contaminated area near the Chernobyl reactor over to the UK. In summer, when the dust causes radiation levels to rise, it becomes even more important for as many children as possible to leave their contaminated homeland for a few weeks of fresh air and clean food. The rates of childhood cancer are incredibly high the most common cancers being thyroid and leukaemia. Coming to the UK for a four week break increases their immunity against the awful disease when they return home. Often these children are in remission. Sadly though there is a high chance of these children falling ill again. They all suffer living in such difficult conditions and with very little.
We have spoken to all the groups we sent to last year, some are still confirming their funding etc and not all host every year, but already confirmed are…
There are other groups we can contact, but will just wait to hear from last year first. So this year we look like we are aiming for approx 115 blankets but this may change. It is a good place to start with!
There are a few extras which we will be collecting too alongside squares, items which really help, if you would like to add in any of these we would love to receive them for the children, thank you, bless you. xx
* Underwear aged 10 plus. New only*
* Adult size socks (one size fits all) new only
* Gloves
* Toothbrushes, single packed please
* Hairbrushes
* Toiletries, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo etc, but not bars of soap please. These are obvs very heavy, but you can if you prefer send funds and we can get locally.
* Sanitary Towels
* Plasters, first aid bits
* Vitamins, please check suitable for 10 years+
* Any little luxuries that pre/teens might love, eg nail varnish, lip balms, hair clips, make up bits, stickers etc.
* If you would like to add 50p in when you post squares for ice creams that would be so kind, we will split any money we receive between the groups.
After the success of Fife last year, we thought how lovely it would be to send all children a cosy hat to take home with their blanket this year, so introduced Hugs for Heads, if you would like to knit or crochet a child’s hat size age 8 to adult (most are teens) in machine washable yarn, we would love to receive it for them. The pattern is up to you., we do have yarn available, please message us. Last posting the same as squares.
What a big ask! Good grief!
But the fabulous Woolly Hug crew never fail to amaze, last year was an astonishing team effort, we know that together we can do this.
On behalf of these children and their families, a huge THANK YOU.
Actually, thank you doesn’t really come close. xxx
