25.01.2022 Hey everyone it's been a week or so since I last posted this but I just need to make sure it stays fresh in everyone's mind as I don't intend to give up the sea...rch. Please share to as many people and pages as possible and help us bring our dogs home. The emptiness and heartbreak is unbelievable. See more

24.01.2022 This glorious weather makes us want to head outdoors for lunch! What better way to picnic than with a gorgeous Gingham Throw from Crochet Club (book 364). Using... Cleckheaton Country 8 ply pairing vibrant Flame (2377) and soft Blossom (2376) it's an easy crochet project with some serious impact.

22.01.2022 Read this first! FAQs & Answers Hi there! Thanks so much for joining this group and lending a hand we rely on the amazing skills of volunteers to produce pouc...hes, wraps and more for orphaned wildlife. What’s most needed? See the attached image with items rated by our need. Joey pouches of all sizes and styles are MOST needed, koala mittens are NOT needed any more. Please only follow information shared by admins. This will prevent confusion and misinformation. We work very closely with our carers and know what they do, and do not, need. Where can I find the patterns? Many patterns are shared below. Other patterns can be found in the Files tab in the group: Animal Rescue Craft Guild Sewers: Welcome! We desperately need bat wraps, joey pouches of all sizes, and hanging joey pouches. All of these are in need and can be made with a sewing machine. (No hand sewn items.) Crocheters: Hi! We need your birds nest making skills! Crocheted nests of various sizes are needed for orphaned birds and small rodents. Also blankets. Knitters: Bonjour! If you can knit you can make some sweet blankets and jumpers that'll keep our fellas warm. We have some great knitting patterns that can be whipped up for our joeys, lambs, penguins, and other animals. Knitted joey pouches are also needed. Not a crafter but still want to help? Donations are VERY welcome to cover supplies and postage costs. Make a tax deductible donation here: https://mkc.org.au/donations/arfsncrafts The Files section has our APPROVED patterns. We recommend you do not vary from these patterns as they have been checked by our wildlife carers and meet their requirements and preferences. Have a question? Message us! Joey Pouches FAQs How many are needed? Carers need a constant supply so as many you can make. They will be needed over the next few months and are distributed to carers all around the country. What sizes should I make? All sizes are needed from tiny pouches for sugar gliders all the way to large sizes that fit older kangaroo joeys. Whatever you can make is needed. Sizes do not need to be exact because joeys also come in all sizes :) What fabric should I use? That depends on which part you’re making. Inner pouches: 100% natural fibre only (cotton, bamboo, linen, silk). Flannelette or plain cotton are great, some carers love stretchy t-shirt cotton. Upcycled bed sheets and doona covers are perfect for these. Fabric should be very soft (what you would give to a baby). French seams are a MUST for all joey pouch liners. Outer pouches: Cotton, flannelette, polar fleece, wool, jersey, sweatshirt material, etc. Poly blends and synthetics are OK. Carers have their own preferences based on their experience and environment. French seams are not needed for outer pouches.

Bat Wraps See the files section for a great pattern. 100% cotton flannelette is preferred. Crochet Nests A variety of sizes are needed. Our recommendation is to use one thread of a cotton 8-10ply and one thread of 8ply acrylic with a 5 to 5.5mm hook. See the files section for our preferred pattern. Rescuers! Please fill out this form so we know who you are and what you need: http://bit.ly/ARCCGRescuer Note that we are not approving posts saying 'thank you for adding me' or to do with the fires. We often turn off commenting on posts once an answer has been provided to prevent any confusion. These policies are to help reduce clutter on the group so we can focus on our crafting. P.S. A reminder too that everyone here is a volunteer and most of us also work full time jobs and have other responsibilities. We aim to get back to everyone, answer all questions etc. but as with all volunteer run groups, we aren’t available 24/7. Thank you for reading and for your hard work! We're all here because we love the animals and want to help.

21.01.2022 Following on from our post yesterday, maybe you could de-stash and make a few crochet nests for injured and orphaned birds? Pattern care of Animal Rescue Collective Craft Guild se their site for details on how to get your nests to wildlife rescue volunteers.

21.01.2022 The talented folks at Knitty Gritty yarn and more in Taree NSW are running an in-store Crochet Along, creating seven gorgeous granny squares over seven classes.... They've chosen our Panda Crypto 8 ply, Panda Magnum 8 ply and Patons Cotton Blend 8 ply to make these beautiful granny squares (not our pattern!). Each lesson will focus on a different pattern, and you'll end up with seven patterns to make your own Granny Square Blanket (or cushion cover, or scarf, or throw - it's up to you!). We always love hearing about our retailers' events! Make sure to tag us at #ausyarnco to be featured!
