Knitting - Therapy

I really love knitting.

Not anything fancy.

Just plain old 'granny' squares.

I love mixing and matching colours

and trying out new stitches.

I've been knitting squares galore

The wool was given to me by my niece Yolande

after her mom Jenny (an avid knitter)

passed away in November.

It's all part of a special "67 things" project

 that I am working on this year.

I set a personal goal to knit 67 squares by 18 July,

Nelson Mandela's birthday.

These will be donated to the Luipaardsvlei Old Age Home

via my oncology radiologist.

They are collecting squares to sew into blankets.

23 done and 44 to go!
