11 May – 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela day
Today’s a day for warm and fuzzy. It’s 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela day … when R100 000 worth of wool (sponsored by The South African Gold Coin Exchange & The Scoin Shop) will be reimagined as part of the massive Rainbow Nation Blanket of Hope initiative. It’s an annual event but an ongoing effort for an incredible cause … the knitting doesn’t stop! So if you can knit or crochet, get hold of one of the 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day national ambassadors, who will pave the way for anyone wanting to become a KnitWit.
