Stitches are in time

On Monday morning, Julie Annabel and Mal Beard dropped into the Noosa Today office with two boxes full of hand-knitted scarves for the homeless.
Julie said she had been knitting since last winter and was waiting for a charity drive where she could donate the scarves.
Julie started knitting after she survived a life threatening illness and said she knew she was here for a reason and wanted to help others.
Julie’s 38 hand-knitted scarves will be given out at today’s (Thursday, 6 August) Homeless Connect Day in Nambour Quota Park.
With the scarves donated, Julie said she is now busy knitting trauma teddies for the Red Cross.
