I told her she need not pay me. I requested she make a donation to a local animal shelter instead. Well, she left me some cash and a pan of brownies. I went over for the mornings and stayed between 1.5 and 2 hours- crocheting a shawl with her kitty by my side the whole time. The teenager who was taking care of the evening feedings did not show up one night and did not respond to her texts. (She had already paid him!). Her next door neighbor took care of that night’s feeding. I told her I would take over the evening feedings for the rest of her trip. So I stayed there an additional hour and got more crocheting done. When I finished the shawl I switched to a Sunburst Granny Square scarf for my sister using leftover Wool of the Andes Tweed yarn from my last blanket project.
When L. returned from her trip she made a donation to the shelter where she adopted her cat AND brought me a bag of goodies. And in that bag of goodies were four skeins of this Irish yarn. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 I love, love, love the color of this tweed yarn. Now all I have to do is decide on the right project.
