Love the doilies.  Yeah on the football ans making dishcloths.

I am further along on my afghan and thought I would show it to you.  The red on top is the beginning of the Phillies part and the orange part to the left is the beginning of the Flyers.  Have to put it down for a couple of days, but here it is.  It is on my queen sizze bed.

 

Great progress.

I’m working on two toddler sweaters and added dish/washcloths to my list for Mountain City.

I’m going into crochet overdrive. So I won’t be around very much. Nearing finish on the last c2c blanket. On sleeves on the sweaters. Started a small child ribbed hat. Second wash/ dishcloth in progress.  The local knit/crochet will keep me busy for WNC post Helene donation items.  Then I’ll focus back to Mountain City needs that Becky (Hillbilly Kitchen) is leading. She’s shopping for a used camper for a grandmother and her autistic 3 yo granddaughter that is in her care.  Loving the cooler weather!  Hope all are doing well. Happy crocheting. 🧶

Sounds like you are one busy person.  It is stories like the one with your friend that should be making the news.  People helping people.  The stories are amazing down here.  People cleaning up and others helping them,  Now to get the insurance companies to cooperate.

Unfortunately, I have had to out my croching on hold.  I hope to pick it up later day or tomorrow.

The helping hands out there would fill a book. 😊 You’ve been through a lot, when you are ready it’ll be waiting. 

Insurance won’t be paying out much in NC. Roughly 2% had flood insurance.  Most houses still standing are water damaged. Those who can qualify will get fema loans. 
Finished my first hat this one will fit 2-3yo.

Beautiful hat, sad that the insurance companies are playing hardball.😠

I have water damage flood on my house, I think I also have flood insurance, but it does not cover rising water, but if something breaks a window, then you are covered.  It is all a game with them, then they raise their rates.

42.2% increase on insurance is insane.  We are having insurance increases also, but not to that extent.  Maybe if they stop paying these big CEO's millions of dollars in salaries there might be some money left to pay insurance claims.
