The first thing to know about the Knitty Gritty Kids is that most of them are 'Special Needs' children, rescued from the scrap heap of Life. I did not let them down as other soul-less, so-called 'parents' had.
Deserted and discarded like so much rubbish, each one begged for rescue. Some wore their saddest, most tearful expressions, whilst others relied on an unexplainable magnetism to draw me to them, to be saved from . . . who knows what? I know I didn’t imagine that whispered "P-l-e-a-s-e save me."
Unloved – after the hundreds of loving stitches that created them.
Unwanted and denied basic human and toy rights – after some dedicated knitter breathed life and souls into these wee beings.
At times, it’s a concrete jungle out there. Here are just a few of the genuine stories of born-again small folk, and their triumph against all odds.
These stories are about the True Grit of the Knitty Gritty Kids.
