ubuntu.beanies

ubuntu.beanies Handknitted beanies with a purpose. Every sold beanie supports local community development Sawubona! I have been
living in Cape Town now for more than 10 years.

My name is Maria, I am German and I lost my
heart to South Africa during my studies in 2010. I started the ubuntu.beanies project in the midst of the
Covid-19 pandemic in April 2020 with the aim to learn a new
skill - knitting - and to keep me sane during a time where
absolutely nothing was allowed in South Africa. I added
ubuntu.wildlife as a sub-category in late 2022 after I taught
myself how to

crochet. The aim of these projects has always been to create
something small that can help to raise continious donations
for communities in need. Please keep in mind that your piece is by no means a perfect
piece - you might find one or two "knitting or crochet hickups",
which I believe just add to the character of your
individual handmade piece. Remember, it's made with a whole lot of love and of course,
a purpose.

Baby rattle - head in the clouds. Made out of 100% cotton yarn and I won’t lie, I wish I would be small again so it wouldn’t be awkward to have these lying around me 🤣

The other week I got asked if I could knit up beanies for safari lodges in Zim and Botswana, which is basically a dream come true fate for my beanies ❤️

imagine you are a beanie, lying around in the curio shop in a hot and humid country, being bought by the most grateful customer, that most likely currently is on a trip of their lifetime - go out and see the big 5 through their eyes, travel home with them and be forever a reminder of the best time of their lives… somewhere in Africa 🥹❤️
