25 Blankets for cats and dogs

 

Here are 25 blankets to be donated to animal shelters. I crocheted about  half of them before my wrist gave out on me, Frank crocheted the rest. I hope to be back to crocheting again in a week or two.

Tuesday, October 20, 2020

 Frank loom knitted these 30 hats and will be donated this week to the Salvation Coat Drive for Kids. We have had some health issue this summer and haven't done much with yarn. I have gout in my right wrist and can't crochet at all. Frank is still having issues with both his hands with dermatites so he isn't doing much with yarn either. we have taken up a new hobby, diamond painting, which we both love. Right now I can't do any but Frank can. I really miss my crochet. I have been reading a lot, not much else I can do. Hopefully I can get back to crocheting soon.
