Had been to a woolen cap knitting training by the NGO "Save the Children" at the company. Got to knit my first mini-woolen cap ( as a mobile accessory!). Based on the pattern, we were to knit a woolen cap for new born babies. They are part of the 3rd Campaign organised by Save the Children, Korea. Woolen caps would be collected until the end of February 2010 and sent to Mali, South Africa.
I was amazed to hear and read how a simple woolen cap goes to reduce infant mortality in Mali and other countries for whom such campaigns are run. I guess one other reason maybe that spending time on a task considered honourable may bring further attachment to the cause rather than just dropping a cheque.
So there I was staying up late night to knit a 80 stitches wide cap just so that I may be able to finish the cap and hand over to the HR at the company on the due date! Challenges energise me like nothing else!
Since my Korean levels are not quite upto the mark, could not understand well the instructions for making a complete cap. Scoured naver.com to get tips for the pattern shown in the Kit and was finally able to make it.
Some pictures taken for my memory:)
