Do they all have to be home made? I've got a shop bought woolly scarf and glove set which was given to me just after a friend had already knitted me a set. Shall I send it? Gx

They don't have to be home made Grenwich, that'd be lovely, thank you.

First scarf arrived today - I love you people, you're warming hearts and making such a huge difference, and bringing a tear to my eye and the refuge manager's too. You're all just wonderful.

Thank you, thank you.

Rivergirl - The possibilities are endless. This is a simple gift for women who need it. It's something I am able to do and I have the contact to do it. I'm sure we could do more if we thought about it and organised ourselves.

Actually I've got a couple I could send if premade ones are acceptable.

Send em ALL! The more scarves I get the more women in refuge we can give a Christmas present to, and I'd love for this to be bigger than the initial 10 women in the first refuge I send to.

More than ten scarves mean that we can make up another package for another refuge. I'm hoping that will be the Doncaster one if Sarah's contact can find out who/where to send it to.

Shall I start a thread about this on Ravelry? The people there are SOOOO generous and I belong to a RAK group there. I could add a link to you.

Consider it done, Sarah. Anyone who looks on Ravelry will find the thread in the UK Random Acts of Kindness group.
