Hi all

Iโ€™ve just finished another blanket for Battersea. This one is with scraps of wool from my stash.
They are therapeutic for me because I battle depression.
Thank you for looking. ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—

Thatโ€™s so kind, and it helps you too. Well done. It will give comfort and warmth to some poor soul.

Btw I understand depression all too well. Youโ€™re not alone.

I don't understand Depression but I can only imagine how harrowing it must be to suffer it.
Thank you for the blankets for the Battersea Cats and Dogs and you are to be congratulated on doing something so kind that , as a side benefit, is an effort to help yourself.
If there's a pooch or a moggy on the Pearly Gates, you're in , girl.

That will make a poor dog or cat very happy! It looks lovely and very cosy.

A beautiful blanket for some lucky cat or dog. Our poor old moggy finds great comfort from his that came with him from Battersea. He is a very timid fellow and when anything frightens him he heads straight for his blanket that is looking a bit the worse for wear after constant use for two years. I have tried him with other blankets but they have not been acceptable.

Would he be upset if you backed it with fleece Greenfinch? It would make it stronger and last longer. You could try a piece or a cheap fleece cot blanket in his bed first, if he's happy with that you could sew them together.

What a good idea Allira .I will certainly try that.

Our new little rescue cat came with 2 knitted blankets that had been home made๐Ÿ˜Š.

She still uses them.

If we make squares for blankets for charity at our craft group, one member takes the squares, joins them and lines the blankets with fleece.
I don't know what we'd do without her !

Gosh, you are so prolific! Battersea and all the furry ones really love you, Iโ€™m sure!

It makes me feel like a slouch! I managed one round of a crochet blanket last night, although it was a pattern round.
