Cross Posted in Cricket Forum
This may be far fetched, but I am looking for a well loved/ used Cricket for a friend of mine who had a stroke.
My friend used to own a quilt shop, but because of his stroke, he had to sell the shop. He no longer is able to do the ‘fine motor skills’ that it takes to do quilting. He was also a knitter and a crocheter, but that also has gone by the wayside because of his limited dexterity.
He attends our weekly knitting group, but often ‘just sits.’ I can see the depression setting in in that he is so limited now. I happened to ask him last week if he thinks he would like weaving? He replied “I would LOVE it” and his affect brightened. He told me that he had a floor loom at one time, but had to give it up due to finances and having to move into a smaller apartment.
Once again, he is limited by fine motor skills, however he would be able to work a shuttle and the RH.
I personally have some tools I can give him (shuttles, bobbins, etc).
If you have a well loved/ used Cricket (old model is perfectly fine/ a little dirty or dusty is fine too) Unassembled is also ok. Please let me know.
I am on a limited income myself, but perhaps our knitting group can pitch in. Let me know what your asking price would be.
Shipping would be to 92805.
Thank you for your help.
