Crocheting Again

             

These little blue critters are a fun change to make after dozens of mittens. My friends and relatives keep having new little ones who will soon be ready to hang onto a whale tail or play ball with its soft, round body.

As I crochet I remember Lou, who was famous not only for the Loupads I wrote about in a previous post (here) but also made hundreds of little stuffed animals as gifts for children overseas. The eyes on my whales are just two sets out of dozens I got from Lou's stash after she died. She is still inspiring us!

Meanwhile, Elsa is cutting out Luopad pieces.
