A few weeks ago, my friend Annika asked for a knitted blanket for Fluffy, her hamster. I had never made a hamster blanket before but if Fluffy needs a blanket, then Fluffy needs a blanket. Annika expressed a preference for red.I knit a plain square; garter borders, stockinette interior. I nixed lace because I was afraid Fluffy would get her feet caught in the lace. And, I thought it should be machine washable and dryable. Fortunately, I had some red tweed Wool-Ease in stash, which met all of my criteria.
Annika and Fluffy appear to be happy with the results. Annika always supervises Fluffy when she is in her blanket so Fluffy doesn't chew it.
Annika is a great girl — a good student, math whiz, student leader, friend to animals, very articulate, and lots of fun. I am glad she is my friend.

Thanks for sharing your talent Sue. If you ever need a salesperson, I know where to find one.
That smile certainly brightened my morning - thanks for sharing, Ingrid
What a great picture of Annika, Fluffy, and the blanket! Good job, I'm sure everyone appreciates your kindness.
It's always nice when you can do something to make someone smile.
