….who might feel like knitting for charity, how about a Worry-Eating Monster?
As I only found out a few months ago (I’d never even heard of them until then) there is a huge demand for these, by children’s therapists, social workers, etc. The ‘monster’s’ large mouth leads to a deep pocket ‘stomach’ so that children with worries can write them down or draw a picture, and the monster will eat them.
There are free patterns on the Knit For Nowt website, the charity that distributes them. There is also a high demand for small hand puppet figures of family characters, various professionals, etc. Patterns also on the website.
This is the 2nd monster I recently posted off - I called him Fangus. Quite a lot of work but not difficult.
