when i have finished my next couple of projects all to do with things on here then i am going to knit some donkeys for the donkey sanctuary. i am going to knit a mix of mini donkeys and normal donkeys. i just wondered if anyone else on here is doing this?
I love donkeys! I saw a piece about knitting donkeys for the donkey sanctuary, but not sure where to get the pattern from? Would be great to do something.
We ran a piece about the Donkey Sanctuary in our June issue. If you'd like to knit a donkey for the sanctuary, contact Ruth from the charity's fundraising team on 01395 578222 and she will send you the pattern
Hi some ladies at our knitting group made the larger ones. They are fiddly because you knit the feet/hooves separate and have to sew t hem on to bottom of legs afterwards. It is easier just to change colour and knit the legs - so I am told. They do look lovely when finished. The ladies also crochet flowers for hat.
the pattern she sent me was for the normal size donkeys and mini ones but yes i agree i wouldnt put the hooves on seperate. obviously you can knit them any colour you want and adorn them as you like all the sales are for the donkeys which is wonderful. i have also asked ruth if she needs blankets, i dont mind knitting a few of them too
