KNITTING
Yes – the crews of ships often board a ship in summer in the Philippines, dressed in shorts and t-shirt. Soon you find yourself transiting freezing Arctic waters with only your overalls to keep you warm. We are always grateful for gifts of warm knitted items which our chaplains and volunteers can pass on to seafarers in need, and it provides them with a first means of communicating with them, which can be invaluable.
