Fats, Vitamins and Minerals

My caregiver seems to have finished the hairpin lace stole she has been crocheting several days now. Not bad. It has three bands of hairpin lace and the rest are crocheted the regular way.

Here is a photo of me wearing the stole - which I sometimes call a berthe - in bed.
