I'm Linda, and I have been crocheting for over a decade. A little while ago, someone gave me some bags of unused wool which had belonged to an elderly lady they had been caring for. When I looked in one bag, I found this beautiful crochet blanket, unfinished, and two unopened balls of wool. The work had stopped halfway along a row, the last stitch obvious, hook missing. I couldn't bring myself to rip it back, so now I have taken up my own hook to finish the blanket.

I have decided to start this fundraiser for Age Action Ireland, in honour of the lady who couldn't finish her blanket, and many of our elderly who need support around Ireland. Please donate what you can. I will also be giving away this fabulous blanket when it is finished, so keep an eye on my Instagram @heninahat. Thank you so much.
