LOL! Loved that quote!

I am a Crocheter, too. I learned to knit in 4-H, but it just didn’t stick. Crochet is wonderful. I make Baby Blankets for ‘Project Linus’ and ‘Comfort Mats’ for dogs and cats at our local no-kill shelter and Premie Caps and Scarves for ‘Warm Up America’ and about eleventy-thousand of those cotton kitchen dish cloths. Family and friends demand them of me!

Mom had an elderly friend who was giving up on her yarn crafts and I got FIVE big, black trash bags full of yarn! It all went to use in the above projects - took me a good two years to get through it all. What a blessing that was! :)

I had someone give me *one* big black bag of yarn. That was a lot of yarn you got!

I haven’t quite figured out what to do with it all yet. I got tired of doing things for family never to see it again, so at the moment I am doing a shawl for a friend who works at a dementia “daycare” kind of facility. I thought one of her ladies might want to use it during the day.
