Hi all

I’ve just finished another dog/cat blanket for Battersea. So far, over the years, I’ve knitted over 100!
This one is knitted totally with leftover yarn from my stash box.
Thank you for looking.

They're beautiful why,why,why. Our daughter & her husband have just adopted their second rescue dog from Battersea, they lost their first 8 weeks ago after 15 years.
Battersea is s wonderful establishment and they do great work. Well done on knitting such gorgeous blankets to comfort the sometimes traumatised dogs.

Your blankets are lovely. My SIL is disabled and also knits blankets for a local dogs home. She finds this satisfying and the dogs home welcome then.

Well done whywhywhy. What a lovely gift and it's good to hear that it helps with your depression.
Just a thought- have you considered joining a local knitting group?
We have several in our area, and are often very welcoming. Might you enjoy the company of other knitters?

I go to a small knitting group on a Tuesday afternoon. They are a lovely bunch but even that doesn’t help with my complicated head.
