Pat that is so nice of you donating all the kitty blankets and mittens. That certainly is a lot of work. The mittens are also very nice. I got a ripple afgan kit, throw size, and will take out the directions and try to make one for DD's kitty. He has a hammock that attaches to the glass french doors. His hammock is vinyl and up near the glass this winter he could get chilly. My fishing crew are broke down, the handle on the winch broke, so they will be coming home. DD says it is cold and the seas are rough. I hate having them work on the water in the winter.
