They were wonderful all slightly different and the stripey ones made with all the oddments of wool were brilliant and so cheerful.<br /><br />It always gave me a great sense of pride to package them up and send them off with our delivery driver to the warehouse in Bicester.<br /><br />Occasionally we would get photos back of children wearing them to put on the shop notice board, and if you look in Oxfam promotional material and leaflets there would nearly always be a happy child in a lovingly knitted jumper somewhere in the background.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-89752112114736227272013-04-30T11:25:01.062+01:002013-04-30T11:25:01.062+01:00Sorry the Norfolk ones didn't work out for you...Sorry the Norfolk ones didn't work out for you.

Eventually the group dwindled to just one lady who kept knitting them until she was about 90. I used to love going into the shop and handing over a bag of beautifully made jumpers. It wouldn't happen now as so few people seem to knit.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855403299773356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-57493872685186805072013-04-30T10:39:04.751+01:002013-04-30T10:39:04.751+01:00Sorry that the Norfolk 2 fell through - hoping nex...Sorry that the Norfolk 2 fell through - hoping next time will work out better!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-53551362496172812702013-04-30T10:06:39.731+01:002013-04-30T10:06:39.731+01:00Ooh - good luck...again!
