it would be great if you could get some directions for left handed people
Yes it would. But I am not left handed. So I don’t even know how I can give directions to lefties.
No More Preemie or newborn hats for my California Stitches Group. All of our hospitals have stop taking the hats due to expected liability for a new baby getting sick. Terrible Terrible I feel very sad we have been crocheting for them for 7 years (hats and blankets). So now my group in making hats and blankets for toddler thru teen for City of Hope juvenile cancer. There are so many cute hat ideas
decorated as animals and characters.
I’m so sad about the baby hats!!
But I am glad to hear that you all found a way to still help a good cause!:)
