The SteveyJ pattern which was launched on Friday 18th December 2020 to raise funds for the International Orphanage Development Programme (IODP) and a prize draw organised via the Facebook page – an online knitting community followed by over 3500 people. I have doubled the prize draw total raised and added pattern sales to raise an amazing £1022 which is being sent directly to theo IODP! Every year a team of volunteers go to Belarus to bring Christmas to the children of the orphanages – giving them their only gift of the year, many of the children were impacted by the terrible events of Chernobyl. Thank you all for your generosity and congratulations to the competition winners – a total of 18 patterns were given away (and one designed!) for this cause!
