Small squares make big blankets.

Laughter and excitement filled the room as the Mulbarton KnitWits® gathered to convert thousands of individual stitches into a major community effort.

The group handed over 2 400 knitted and crocheted squares to the Queenshaven Retirement Village KnitWits®, who now have the challenge of turning them into as many blankets as possible over the next three months.

The squares were donated to 67 Blankets by National Renal Care as a national corporate social investment project for its staff.

Thank you to the Fourways Review for your AMAZING blanket coverage and support.

One of the proudest achievements of my life was signing a partnership agreement on behalf of 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Day and the Department of Correctional Services. That meant that I got to spend a lot of time in jails all across South Africa. Always at my side was today’s birthday girls Laetitia Redman. Dynamite does come in small packages. When Laetitia walks into a prison the residents take note. They greet respectfully and are always delighted and honoured by her presence. Together we have achieved the seemingly impossible. Four Guinness World Records with the help of our ambassadors for 67 Blankets and KnitWits in South Africa and internationally as well as thousands of people living behind bars. Inmates (including men in maximum security centres) across our land have made thousands of blankets for people on the outside whose lives have been affected by crime and poverty. Laetitia and I have travelled the country together, plotted and planned some of our extraordinary achievements, she makes everything tick! And today she celebrates her birthday. Happy birthday my powerful, fearless and fabulous friend Laetitia. Thank you for profoundly changing my life and bringing so much meaning into my world. I send you so much love.

Can you spot your blanket?

A huge thank you to Firdoze Bulbulia for taking the donated blankets all the way over to Cairo!

These blankets have now been donated to the Children’s Cancer Hospital and a Burns Hospital, where they will hopefully bring a little warmth and comfort to children who need it most.

Thank you to everyone who donated a blanket and helped make this possible.
