Dog blanket for Battersea

For some reason your picture didn't post but I'm sure it's just as lovely as the others.

My word, you must be a very speedy knitter! Well done.

Amazing - and I bet they are very much appreciated too. Well done.

Whoops!😬
I think I pressed the wrong thing!

It's not you 😀

With a little heart too 💓

Is that a crochet blanket I spy as well?

Thank you. Yes, a crochet blanket for me on the arm of the sofa.

You certainly will have made a tremendous difference to their comfortable most animals love a snuggle in a warm blanket.love the little heart. My little dog is a rescue and loves her blankets. X

Wow well done. Much appreciated by dogs i am sure.

Thank you.

That's beautiful whywhywhy. You have restored my faith in human nature as I read today about someone who abandoned four puppies on a cycle path in Bristol. Thankfully they are all at Bristol Dogs Home now being cared for. In this sometimes cruel world it's so heartening to know there are people like you doing something so positive and kind.

A fifth one was offered for free in a pub and then taken to the Dogs' Home.
They're in poor condition and the four were tied together. ☹

Poor little things, hope their lives improve now.

Our rescue cat loves the blanket that came with him from Battersea cats’ home two years ago. As you can see it is well clawed but being elderly , he sleeps on it all night and most of the day. Fortunately it washes well.

How lovely. I love the little ❤️

Fantastic! You are so prolific - lucky dogs and cats! 🐶😻

Thank you all so much. Knitting keeps me sane because I battle with depression. 🤗

Well done, I really wish I could knit!

It's awful isn't it Allira? Can you ever imagine giving a dog away for free in a pub? Who knows where the poor little thing could have ended up and the life it could have had.

I'm trying to tell myself that the fact the pups were tied together might have saved them from running off and being hurt on a road, but who the hell would do such a thing?

Thank heavens for the people who found them and for the dog's home being there to look after them.

Well done whywhywhy, those cats and dogs are very fortunate to have your lovely blankets. Sorry to learn about your depression and pleased to know your knitting skills help to keep it in check. 💐

Goodness that's fabulous, well done indeed. I'm knitting one too for them. It's an easy pattern with cute paw prints but I am SO SLOW!

Oh well done, that's just incredible

Awww well done that is such a lovely thing to do and as well as kind your also very talented

The crocheted ones are easier to wash. They are denser than the knitted ones and don't seem to cause the same problems in the washing machine. This is my experience anyway. I bought crocheted blankets for my cats, which washed easily, whereas the ones I knitted from squares seemed to be too heavy for the machine.

What a lovely thing to do. Well done.

Congratulations! It looks magnificent./
