I had an enjoyable time partaking in a challenge to knit every day for March to raise money for Alzheimer’s research. It had been a truly enjoyable, relaxing, and fulfilling journey. My initial fundraising goal of £500 was met quite quickly, which motivated me to aim higher—and I’m thrilled to say that my second target of £1,000 had also been successfully reached!
I am deeply grateful to my family, friends, and colleagues for their generous donations in support of this important cause.
Beyond fundraising, I also set a personal goal of knitting ten gilets. Despite my work commitments in March, I managed to finish nine beautiful gilets—an achievement I’m incredibly proud of. As Stephanie Pearl-McPhee wisely said, “I believe knitting is a transformative and intriguing act that can change the life and brain of the person doing it, and that knitting is a perfect metaphor for life and insight into some better ways through it.” I couldn’t agree more.
