    About

    I knit for most of my grandchildren to about the age of 12/14 years old (they get fashion conscious). So to keep using knitting as therapy for osteoarthritis, I started knitting toys. I then got hooked. so these have been completed from free patterns mostly and great use of my knitting cache and remnants. I have done baby caps and hooded baby wraps for charity. I am continuing to knit for charity, waiting until there is enough toys to aid charity income by selling.
