It is really satisfying to be able to make something with your own hands, so that’s really cool. I should maybe think about taking it up in the winter when I am antsy and need to keep my hands busy or something. Ohhh I see I thought they were more of a fashion thing I like the color 💜 but that makes sense too, good luck to your hands!
I’m loving this. Our last 3 dogs have been rescues and we’re on our 4th consecutive foster. Well, 5th consecutive, but the 2nd was a foster fail and he’s a full time member now. My wife volunteers a couple time a week at a local shelter, and it’s unfortunately by some railroad tracks and a baseball stadium that blows up fireworks after each home game. Comfort blankets could go a long ways there.
Feel free to dm me the shelter name, I could send some blankets there! I’m all about spreading the love.
We have had our share of rescues (and 1 foster fail) because we used to adopt older dogs with health issues. As a result, they didn’t live too long. My son finally asked us to get a younger healthy dog, which was totally fair and better for his mental health. So, now we have two goobers, 5 and 3 years old. When they cross the rainbow bridge, we will go back to adopting old souls.
I knit them for the Snuggles project and take them to my local animal shelter. If you want to join: https://snugglesproject.org/
You can also knit nests for bird rescues!
That is so sweet! looks like you have been at it a while that’s some quality looking knitting. like your gloves btw!
Thank you! I love knitting these blankets, they are my go-to in between projects and whenever I need something simple yet satisfying.
And the gloves will supposedly help with my hand not being completely destroyed by hours of knitting, haha. We shall see.
