Holey socks

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Is anyone interested in stitching together old socks to make pet blankets for the SPCA? I have a small pile and no talent or patience for the task.

I knew a lady years ago who used to do it, because it saved throwing out socks that could still be used, and it gave the SPCA bedding for rescue animals. At $1 per pair for socks, it's cheaper to replace than repair them these days, so the piles grow.

If anyone has the time, patience and talent to do it, I'm happy to collect them (clean please).
