Three days into my knit every day challenge in support of @alzheimersresearchuk.org
I am aiming for a sea creature a day but the fiddler crab was fiddly to make.
2 creatures down and some progress on a jumper too.

Yarn at the ready… One week until the start of my challenge. I’ll be knitting everyday in March and offering all my knits to the people who sponsor me.
