Children’s Food Bank 2025

So, the first item for the children’s food bank is finished—it’s a hat, since those are always being requested and needed.

Best regards, Inge 

And just like that, hard at work again! Great job, Inge!

The dragon looks really cute. A child will surely be very happy to have it and cuddle with it.

That looks so cozy—very cute!🤩

That’s really super cute!

Today, a little knitted teddy bear 

Best regards, Inge

Inge, you’re as hard-working as ever.
I’m sure you’ll collect a lot again, and you’ll make a lot of kids’ eyes light up once more.

Inge, you’re so hard-working—do you ever get any sleep?
Or do you do what I do when I can’t sleep?
I get up and do some crafts for a few hours.

And another teddy bear is knitted

Best regards, Inge

Today I’m adding a hat made from leftover yarn

Best regards, Inge

Today, a cuddly little pillow :-), but there are a few more to come

Best regards, Inge

Cuddle Pillow No. 2 is also finished :-)))

Love, Inge

They’re so cute! They’re sure to be great for cuddling!

These are all such beautiful creations that are sure to bring a lot of joy.
It really makes you want to start sewing right away.

Meow ;-)):-)) a little kitty today

Best regards, Inge
 

Those are such lovely projects.
Where is the Kindertafel, and how does it work?
Best regards 

Hi Galadirel, the Kindertafel in Schweinfurt was founded in 2009, but it’s actually been around a bit longer. Just Google “Kindertafel,” and you can find out where else there are Kindertafels in Germany. Because no matter where they are, they’re always happy to receive donations.

Today I sewed two little teddy bears.

Best regards, Inge

And here’s another little dragon today :-))


Best regards, Inge

I sewed a little teddy bear like that back in school—that was actually the only thing I’ve ever sewn 🫣
It’s great that you’re so committed to the Kindertafel ☺️

Hi Inge, your creations are wonderful. The idea of making handmade items for the Kindertafel is great.
Wishing you continued joy!
Greetings from the Palatinate

A hat made from scraps, but there still aren’t any fewer of them ;-) :-)

Best regards, Inge

So, the hat is finally done—I’ve been knitting on it for quite a while.

Love, Inge

And the next hat is knitted :-))

Best regards, Inge

It’s like baking pretzels for you, dear Inge. Your last three hats have all turned out beautifully—and they’ll be very useful when it gets colder again. I especially like the “twisted” ones.

Best regards, Ina

Thanks, Ina. These twisted hats are very easy to knit. You start by casting on 3 stitches and increase 1 stitch at the end of each row until you reach the desired head circumference, then decrease 1 stitch on both sides until you’ve reached the rectangle you want. If you’d like, you can then knit on a small band, then sew the hat together along the narrow sides. At the top, either right at the very top or—as I did with this hat—thread a strand of yarn through and pull everything together as tightly as possible, tie it securely, and cut the ends. The hat is done.

Love, Inge

Today, a little baby hat

Best regards, Inge

And another baby hat

Best regards, Inge

These twisted hats are just great!

So today we dropped off our Easter donations at the Kindertafel; Mr. Labus was very happy to see them again.

Best regards, Inge

I can imagine. He probably doesn’t get so many nice things very often.

I knitted a pair of baby socks from leftover yarn.

Best regards, Inge

Great job, Inge! I tip my (non-existent) hat to you. You’re truly a great role model! You dedicate yourself to the Kindertafel all year round, knitting, crocheting, and sewing the most beautiful things for underprivileged children. You pour your time, energy, and materials into every single item. And you do it all for free, with perseverance, and with a smile.

Your greatest reward is surely the joy on the children’s faces when they get to pick out something from your treasures that makes their hearts happy. Mr. Labus is lucky to have you. May you continue to work hard for many years to come.

The baby socks are really cute, too. Keep up the great work! And don’t forget to take a break every now and then!

Warm regards, Ina

Thank you, Ina. When I make something for these children, the image of their eyes lighting up is my greatest reward. My father always used to say, “Remember, a child’s little hand fills up very quickly,” and that’s one of my guiding principles in this endeavor.

Love, Inge

Today I knitted a cool guy for the KT

Best regards, Inge

Your dedication to the children is simply admirable, dear Inge!

Inge, you’re hard at work again—and you’re always coming up with new ideas. 😀

Now that’s what I call a tough guy!

Thank you, everyone, and today another hat

Best regards, Inge

And here’s another one—hats are always in demand at the Children’s Table and are a popular item

Best regards, Inge

And another baby hat

Best regards, Inge

Another hat for the KT today



Best regards, Inge

Three little bags for the Kindertafel—we have the Kindertafel Schweinfurt summer festival on August 2, and I’d like to sew a few more little bags for it. 

Best regards, Inge

They’re so cute. And everyone can always use one!

our busy little bee, Inge, I’m speechless at what pretty things you’ve crafted, and so many of them.
The children receiving these gifts will have such shining eyes, you wouldn’t believe it, dear Inge. 
I always think campaigns like this are wonderful. 
Here in our area, I haven’t heard/read anything about this yet. I’d certainly join in too.

so happy crafting to everyone

Thanks, Marlis! Today: a water bottle organizer



Best regards, Inge

And two more little pouches



Love, Inge

Today I added 4 gym bags and a little rattle



Best regards, Inge

And here’s another baby hat for the KT



Love, Inge

Hard at work, hard at work! Great!

Today, a few pairs of kids’ socks in size 24/25



Best regards, Inge

Today, a few baby socks in size 20/21


Best regards, Inge
 

Today I’m adding a knitted teddy bear :-)



Love, Inge

Ha, it looks just like Winnie the Pooh! :-)

And once again, a pair of warm socks is finished—this time in size 33/34. But I haven’t spent this much time knitting a pair of socks since I was in school; that stupid COVID-19 infection really knocked me back more than I thought it would.



Love, Inge

So, after a long 6 weeks, the little hat is finally done, and all the UFOs I had lying around are gone—thank goodness! I’ll just say this: the hat is knitted from scraps that were sitting in my box—I knitted them up just as they came :-)



Love, Inge

Today, some toys for the kids: 2 little beetles—pattern and idea by Inge :-))



Love, Inge
