Scott Cook, Shipping Liaison Officer, with some Filippino crew from the m/v Cape Donington, in Hobart. They loved the donated mittens, but unfortunately our supply of beanies had already been exhausted.

 

Brrrr! Seafarers need help

by Scott Cook

 

 

The Mission to Seafarers - Hobart Branch are looking for keen knitters to assist in making beanies and fingerless gloves for the seafarers who visit our port. As we all know, Tasmania can be a very cold place this time of year, and especially cold when you are on watch on a ship during the long hours of night duty.

If anyone can make beanies, or has any spare wool that can be given to another knitter it would be very much appreciated. If you can assist in any way, please ring Jack or Kath Tomes on 6234 5308 to arrange pick-up or delivery.
