Caro is 96 and knits all of these items for the Christmas Shoebox Appeal!

For over a decade Caro has been knitting and giving her boxes of amazing creations to Theresa (right). Each one will go into a shoebox and will be cherished by a child that Caro will never meet but who she has given so much joy and love!

Thank you Caro 🥰❤️👏
