Changes

Alexander Graham Bell wrote "When one door closes, another opens"


I have found that to be true in my life. As most of you know I knitted for "Babies in need" for a long time and the chapter here in my area closed so was in a turmoil as to what to do. I sold a few items on ebay but just didn't like it. I suddenly remembered a conversation I had with my daughter a few years ago and she talked about her friend having her mom in a rest home that was limited on many things so I decided to use up a lot of my yarn (not baby) and make slippers and lapghans and etc.  Here are a few that have been either knitted or crocheted...


































and I used all kinds of scraps to make this lapghan


This is folded in half...



It has also come to my attention that care centers for dementia patients need twiddle muffs...
sample from Ravely:


and will try to make us some of these as well. Love being able to make things with just a little yarn.
