Alfie's Little Treasures
Description
A wide range of crocheted items for all... Hello everyone and welcome to Alfie's Little Treasures. Time for an update and freshen up of our page so firstly to introduce myself, my name is Zoe � I first became interested in crochet back at the end of 2012 following the loss of our first born son Alfie who was stillborn in October 2012. A charity called SANDS supply all bereaved parents with memory boxes to hold those special items such as handprints, locks of hair and blankets kindly donated by knitters and crocheters. So this is where I began, firstly learning to knit so I could contribute blankets to other grieving parents through SANDS, unfortunately knitting was not my calling and that's when I discovered crochet � I'm self taught through YouTube and learning basic crochet patterns through the Internet and that's where Alfie's Little Treasures was born. I began making many things from hats to blankets to toys and even items of clothing for animals. I started taking orders and made my mind up that 20% of all my sales would go to charities helping tackle baby loss and those it has affected so around Alfie's birthday each year I split the money between 4 chosen charities (SANDS, Kicks Count, Mylo's Fund and The Rubislaw Ward located at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital where we had Alfie) as my way of giving back. To the present day I no longer take orders as time can be an issue with our daughter now around but from next weekend (6th May 2017) we will be supplying crochet items to a local gift shop opening up � and I have recruited another team member in my mum Tina who is also self taught. Long story but I got there in the end. Thank you for popping past and having a look �
