So, as I mentioned, I'm off to First Air to send boxes to Igloolik. We will have 5 boxes filled with your cozies for the community. Rhoda, our community contact, said she can get the items distributed very quickly - there is such a shortfall of clothing. Interestingly though, they are interested in items that fit into their own more traditional animal skin clothing - kind of using it as a liner.
I got a couple of boxes in the mail this week, and I'm squeeeezing them into the shipment as well - I want to send absolutely everything we can - let's make our cupboards bare!
So here's what I got this week:
 |
| The elephant above, the monkeys and the hats/mittens are from Sabrina Thomspson of Miss ON (otherwise known as knitphomatic on Rav). Sabrina, thank you very much - your toys will be appreciated in Igloolik! |
 |
| So when I sent out an "I'm not sure if I have enough" message, of course, Jeanine (douceaubergine) anted up immediately: Jeanine, the socks and mittens will be very appreciated as I understand the last sets are currently linking kamiks and mittens. See Jeanine's mittens below: |
 |
| And finally, we LOVE Barbara Dreher of Takatsuki City, Japan. Yes, you did read that right: Barbara sends us stuff for each shipment - she's a Canadian living in Japan to be closer to her grand-babies. Thanks, Barbara! |
 |
| And above is a lap blanket/baby blanket from Barbara. Your timing could not have been better! |
