We recently lost a sister-in-law and her husband has given me a lot of wool that Kerry had stashed away. Kerry was a great knitter but in later years, her eyesight deteriorated so much that she had to give up knitting.
I have started crocheting beanies again. I’ve been using up the small amounts of wool, mixing and matching colours as I go. The photo shows the first three that I’ve done. I’ve had to throw out some wool as the moths had got into it. However, there is enough wool left for many more beanies.

@Tampa_girl7 The children's cancer ward will take them to give to children who have lost their hair through chemotherapy. The ones made with baby wool go to the premature babies' ward.

You'll be busy for a while then. With the weather when cold, beanies terrific!

@oahuwriter Yes, we are and the last two days the temperatures have almost got to 100F. But mostly we don't get a lot of days at such high temps.

They look cute. Good that the wool found right hands. I like the color combinations. My younger daughter keeps crocheting beanies and sells them for fund raising at Christmas fair. Hopefully we have that fair this year. It didn't happen last year due to the pandemic

@JudyEv Oh yes! Sorry, I forgot. Your seasons down under are opposite from the others.
That's all right, my friend from Australia gave me a lecture on that several years ago. And I wouldn't believe him. Ha ha. I deserve that.
Hope you can make plenty for many.

@eileenleyva Many people find it hard to accept that Christmas is in our summer.

I agree with Anna. The pink and white is very pretty. They all look warm

That sounds like a good use for the yarn. Who will you give the beanies to? Do you donate them?

I have been crocheting on and off for about 50 years.

My deep condolences.
I've always wanted to learn to knit, but don't know where to start. Is knitting difficult?
