Hemlock Ring Blanket



This is for a surprise Grandma shower gift for a good friend. I hope when it's done blocking it looks just as good as it does with all the pins in it.

Brielle's cap


This is a chemo cap for a friend's friends daughter. Their 9 yr old little girl has had the tumor removed and after her first chemo treatment she started losing her hair. I'll get this cap to her mom tomorrow so she'll have something if she needs it.

Slippers

The lady I made the slippers for (see picture below) has started a Yahoo Group. If you're interested in joining, the description is right here...........

Oklahoma has some very cold winter months and the dear residents at the rest homes and mental care facility feet get so cold when temps hit in the 30's and below. This group is for those dear people, many who have no one who cares about them.

We will make slippers using the pattern called Maggie's slippers. Any size or color. They will be distributed to rest homes and care facilities here and in surrounding areas.

You will feel such a blessing knowing that you've helped bring a smile to someone's face plus keeping their feet warm.
Elderly people tend to have poor circulation and have cold hands and feet.

Cozy Toes



A friend of mine knits slippers for a rest home. She said she was neglectful last year and is trying to make a bunch in a hurry this week. I thought I'd help her out a bit. These were so easy. Hope the recipients in Oklahoma like them. :-)
