Welcome to 2022 - a new beginning - a fresh start…and KOGO has hit the ground running! We have received thousands of donations from our talented and generous knitters and have already sent out more than 20 orders, 10,950 items, to different charities.
Read MoreThis is our final newsletter for the year 2021. Though many things might have needled us this year, most of us have tried to laugh and have a good yarn while creating garments for sew many people in our community. Providing for others allowed us to stay hooked on the darn good things in life.
Read MoreWe have been so keen to get back into action at KOGO and it feels like we are almost there! Once again, we gratefully and joyously accept all your handmade donations. We will continue to distribute these items to as many people as we can.
Read MoreThankfully, when the sun begins to shine, everything seems a little brighter. There is a feeling of change in the air. We will find our new ‘normal’ and continue to knit, crochet, and create for others.
Read MoreIt is hard to believe so many of us are still in lockdown. A challenging aspect for us is that we feel we have no control over when our current circumstances might change. That is why we love knitting!
Read MoreMany of our incredible knitters have experienced a period of lockdown since our last newsletter. Though being stuck at home can be a good opportunity to knit and create, we are aware that it can feel lonely at times. We hope that you are looking after yourselves and finding opportunities to engage with others.
Read MoreIn Victoria, we are slowly coming out of lockdown. Our knitters have once again used this time to create more winter woollies for our community. We all know how important it is to be busy when stuck at home. As they say, ‘knitting keeps me from unravelling!’
Read MoreAs winter nears, KOGO continues to receive and deliver thousands of knits each week Australia wide. We are proud of how efficiently we distributed these woollies to those in need. We have continued to increase the number of charities we support this year.
Read MoreIt is hard to believe it is already the end of April. Winter feels like it is just around the corner, allowing us to merrily sit inside and knit for longer periods of time…guilt free!
Read MoreKOGO is reaping the benefits of hours of dedicated knitting completed during lockdown in 2020.
Read MoreWelcome to 2021!
We hope you have had a wonderful summer break. After a challenging 2020, we are well rested and ready for a productive and positive year ahead. We have been inundated with knits and we look forward to distributing these hand-made items to the community organisations we support. We welcome 2021 with open arms!

I hope that you are all managing in these difficult times – especially those of us in Victoria with this extended lock-down period.
Read MoreHi to all our wonderful knitters and crocheters. We hope you are staying well.
