The knitters of The Sibfords got their needles charged up to bring some Christmas cheer to the people of Ukraine. We have been busily knitting beanies, baby blankets, cardigans etc and the wonderful Matt loaded all in his van, to a hospital in Suny, in the North East of the country near the Russia border. Suny is the regional capital, and although some of the area has fallen to the Russians, they have not captured the city. It arrived just before Christmas, and we were delighted to receive some photographs back. The beautiful girl [on the front cover] is wearing a jacket that Petra knitted 50 years ago for her daughter. It is heartwarming to see it being given new life in Ukraine. Our knitters are Dinah, Jean, Mandy, Sylvia, Sandra, Veronique, Charlotte and Petra who have all contributed to a warmer Christmas for our Ukrainian friends.

A huge thankyou to all.
