Bayaniyarn

I finally completed my volunteer work for local charity Bayaniyarn! I enjoyed crocheting 60 preemie beanies and 76 octopus amigurumi dolls. These specially handmade items will be donated to premature babies at NICU wards in government hospitals.

Crochet has truly given me a way to help others during this pandemic. I am grateful for this skill, and the gift of health that enables me to keep going. If you have a talent or a skill that will let you be a blessing for others, please put it to good use. Let us all help each other rise during these difficult times.

Stay safe everyone!

Octopals!

I have been volunteering as a crocheter since the lockdown was imposed last March 2020. The corona virus has cancelled all my events and outside work, so I dedicated my energy and skills to donating earsavers to medical frontliners via Earsavers for Lifesavers PH. Since the project has already attracted numerous volunteer crocheters across the Philippines, I have joined another charity called Bayaniyarn. They donate crocheted and knitted beanies and octopus amigurumi dolls to premature babies at government hospital NICUs across the country. So far, I have already finished a box of Monaco mercerized cotton and crocheted 22 octopals for preemies.

I am enjoying this new project so far, and I have also crocheted a few beanies already. I hope to turn these over to Bayaniyarn in time for Christmas.

Please also consider volunteering for Bayaniyarn if you know how to knit or crochet! It will make your heart fuller and your quarantine more meaningful.
