Crochet Donations

One of the reasons that I craft is to be able to share these items with others. When I was diagnosed with RA and Fibromyalgia I made a decision that as long as I could crochet, I would. I would also try to share as much as possible with others what I made.

In 2015 I was able to start really focusing on donating with Reddit's Santa's Little Helpers. I had received help there and wanted to give back in any way that I could. I sent out 17 gifts and it felt wonderful.

I started the new year with the goal of making at least 30 items in 2016 to donate.

At the midway point for the year I am well on track to meet my goal. 18 gifts are completed with several WIPs pending.

Want to Help?

I love making gifts but since I'm disabled and not working I could use help with getting supples. I go through a lot of yarn!

I really appreciate any donations of supplies that can be sent my way. If you are in my local area (Granville County, North Carolina) I can arrange to pick up directly. If not, just send me a message for my mailing address to ship supplies. I have even been able to arrange with other Reddit users a yarn swap where they send me supplies and I purchase yarn for them that covers the cost of shipping.

Needed Supplies

Yarn in any color, weight or yardage. Leftover yarn from completed projects is perfect! I'm making a focus on amigurumi so small quanities isn't a problem and can be exactly what I need. Novelty yarns, one-off skeins and unfinished/unwanted projects will all be used. Pretty much if you don't see a use for it but it's "too much" to throw away, please send it my way.
Polyfill Stuffing for all the dolls and stuffed animals.
Felt and Fleece in any color, weight or yardage for detail work on dolls and for lining purses, etc.
Embroidery Thread in any color. Unwanted/Incomplete cross stitch projects can be sent for upcycling.
Buttons/Zippers/Costume Jewelry for detail work on purses and other wearable gifts. Unwanted/Broken purses and jewelry can be sent to be upcycled.
