I am overwhelmed with how many people have contributed to this cause but was very pleasantly surprised when I received a gift of a gorgeous shawl for me and a hat for my husband from Annette and Alexander in Germany. A photo of them will be posted soon.
That's in addition to the monetary donation they made which has really helped me with the costs associated with this venture. Two Aussies have also made a monetary contribution, my thanks goes to them too.
And the blankets and squares just keep on rolling in. I cannot move in my spare bedroom now so I will be glad when the first delivery of blankets is made. I can then start to put some more together which I hope to deliver to the Kinglake area later in the year.

In February 2009 the State of Victoria in Australia was devastated by bushfires with over 200 lives lost. Making blankets of friendship for them is one practical way of showing them that people care. We are knitting or crocheting 12" squares in 8ply or 10ply wool (DK or worsted) that will be joined together and then offered to victims of the terrible fires that have ravaged Victoria. Squares can be posted to 'Blankets of Friendship', PO Box 488, TRARALGON Vic 3844. Australia.
