Nana's baby's pretty in pink!

 

My granddaughter sent me this picture of my youngest great-grandchild wearing my pink blackberry stitch cardigan.

What a difference from this one that was way too big for her back then.

It's so nice to see them on her...

Another new design in my shawls

 

Currently, I am crocheting a shawl in blue, pink and white. I haven't done a multicoloured one in these colours before, so I thought it would be fun to do it..

I will probably make 2 of them because they are still gender neutral...

My joy is complete when my new wools are delivered...

Even a cat can do it!

 

I came across this cute video of a cat knitting. It's so easy to do that even  a cat can do it!

Some encouragement for you!

 

Not so long ago, I developed Trigger Finger and osteo arthritis in my hands which caused my fingers to not be able to bend or straighten.

I regretfully packed away all my wool and needles and hooks and lamented just another thing that age and chronic illness had taken from me.

Then I visited my twin sister who was busy crocheting baby blankets. 

She too suffered from arthritis in the hands and she proudly flexed her swollen fingers and encouraged me to take it up again. I did.

I suffer with fibromyalgia and it is important to find something to take my mind off pain, and I find knitting or crocheting does that to some degree. 

I believe it is healthy and very satisfying to be creative and I have knitted, crocheted or sewn many gifts for family and friends.

I can actually bend my fingers now. If you are in a similar position and have given up on handcrafts, I would encourage you to try one more time.
