Zoom cushions

A pal gave me several bags of wool, a mixture of odds and ends, at the start of lockdown. I dug out a crochet hook and started to make my Zoom cushions for friends and family who were spending so many hours sitting in front of a computer.  Some used them for their backs, others their necks!  The cushions are photographed on a crocheted blanket make from wool scraps which I inherited from my mother.  Neither of us made works of art, just useful objects from recycled wool. It’s a lovely connection for me in such stressful times.
