In answer to Magenta 8 , I belong to a facebook group called Random Acts of Kindness (which started in America)
We make small toys ,called Izzie dolls (from the original pattern maker) and teddies with a note in . We leave them for people to find or give them to parents for their children.
It’s lovely to make people smile instead of frown!

Yes, we are an army of grandma knitters, aren't we?

I do this too, but began with the trauma teddies group which makes similar for fire stations.

I did a project last year at the request of a lady who was sending a lorry to Ukraine. Instead of packing the medical equipment in normal packing, she collected Izzy dolls, woolly hats and scarves, so the "packing" would not be wasted on arrival.
Now I am busy making items for Wood Green.

My efforts for hats for the NICU were not the quality I liked and this is quite popular, so I leave that to the better knitters.

I saw that last night and thought how much joy she had given to all those children who found the little gifts. A really lovely idea.

I saw that too. Such a heartwarming story 😊

The knitting was beautiful as were the little rhymes that went with the toys.

Lovely story , it’s on bbc iplayer north west

Lovely story

I haven't seen it, but thank you for sharing such a lovely story

What a lovely story. Knitting seems to bring out the best in people.

I know we have at least one olympic gold standard knitter on GN and they put their skill to very good use to help children.

I don't want to make these thread setious but there is something so important about interaction between older people and children.

It was absolutely lovely, real hankie job 🙂. And what a lovely grandson who nipped out and placed dolls and pillar box toppings.

Oh, it was just so lovely and I too seemed to have something in my eye

I didn’t see it, but thank you Cossy that’s delightful.

Yes, what an uplifting story isn't it.
I'm glad for Granny H that she was found and was able to see for herself the joy she has brought to children.

Aww how lovely.

So good to hear something cheerful. More power to her elbow.

I thought it was lovely and it made that lady so happy. The children really enjoyed it too.

Lovely story, isn’t it Cossy? So heartwarming!
