Baby Knits by Breda 2.31

Breda is a retired primary school teacher who taught knitting for many years. Since retiring she has used her talents for different charitable causes, such as volunteering to teach crafts in schools.

In 2014 she knit 60 special baby jumpers with beanies and crocheted 30 blankets for "Fish & Chip" babies in Uganda. These are babies whose parents can't afford to wrap them in anything but newspaper after they are born, hence the nick-name.

This year she has knit a collection of baby cardigans, beanies and hoodies. They range in sizes, with a small number for newborns, 3-6months (though she has heard from happy friends that they still fit at 9months!), 6-12months and an extra custom order size 1year+.

The prices range from 10euro to 25e, which is incredible when you consider how much time and effort goes into each piece, and that they are knit with quality baby wool. All pieces are machine washable and again friends have told her that they wash really well and have lasted due to the great quality.

She is also happy to take custom orders for different sizes, styles and colours.

100% of the profits from the sale of these gorgeous knitted products goes towards local Cork Children's charities, which have included in the past, the Neo-natal ward in CUMH, Féileacháin and fundraising for local Cork Primary Schools. Other charities will no doubt be added to the list as time goes on!
