Happy Easter! We had our pet therapy pets visiting us. Below is Kristin from Pals for Life Pet Therapy organization. Some of our ladies are making little blankets for the newborn kittens and puppies in the SPCA shelter. It is a great way for our ladies to learn to make little blankets because the puppies and kittens are happy and grateful no matter how the blankets turn out! We also received a kitty toy knitting book and stay tuned for some future cat toy projects. Kristin and Mikey:
