Keen knitter and super carer Jenny Prowse has been making her clients smile this week.

Jenny who runs the amazing Radstock knitters, put her skills to good use to bring some joy to those who she cares for.

Jenny works long hours and all over Bath and North East Somerset, visiting clients from 7am until 4pm - sometimes even later.

Although she loves her job, and says she works with a fabulous team, she thought of this wonderful way to cheer everyone up.

She managed to combine her hobby and her job in one lovely knitted together care bear - a mini me of her own uniform - but in yarn.

Jenny said: " I made this bear to help bring happiness to the people I care for. It made everyone smile.

"A grinning face with smiling eyes in the uncertain times we find ourselves.

" I saw a post for the pattern from yarn it darn it and adapted it to my uniform colours. While making it I washed my hands and used alcohol gel."

The positive reaction she got from her clients was, she says, worth the effort. But she also cannot wait for the coronavirus lockdown to be over.

She misses her knitting friends too and can't wait to get back with them.
