The blanket in the background of this photo was created by strangers and gifted to us after the Canberra Firestorm in 2003. There is something special about hand made things and this one has certainly become a much loved treasure - replacing many that were lost.
Ten years on and my Mum and I recently found ourselves knitting squares to contribute to a similar project 'Woolies for Tassie' creating blankets for Tasmanians who lost their homes in bushfires this year.
It has been the most rewarding experience for us and we have decided to keep knitting and through Suddenly Homeless start our own project 'Blanket Them With Love'.
If you would like to like to be involved...either by knitting, donating wool or contributing towards wool and shipping costs to send blankets please feel free to contact us (or check project details below).
Our goal is to establish a stock pile of blankets that are ready to be distributed to those who have become 'Suddenly Homeless' so as to 'Blanket Them With Love' as quickly as possible...
Bright Blessings,
ps - if someone you know has become 'Suddenly Homeless' and you would like to nominate them to receive a blanket, please feel free to contact us - info@suddenlyhomeless.com
Project Details -
Squares can be either knitted or crocheted and should be 15cm x 15cm
Squares or entire blankets can be sent to us at PO Box 1966 Byron Bay NSW.
Alternative collection or drop off arrangements may be possible for Lennox Head, Ballina, Byron Bay area.
If you are not a knitter, donations of yarn or cash (towards purchasing yarn/sending blankets) are also greatly appreciated.

Each blanket will have a special label sewn on to identify it as apart of this project. They will also be filled up with reiki love-light & healing intentions before being distributed xo
Thank-YOU for helping us to Blanket the Suddenly Homeless with Love...
