Crocheting through COVID

Visual artist and BCH committee member Caroline Clarke has temporarily put down her paint brushes in favour of her crochet hook and wool palette to create tiny hats for newborn babies. The cute and colourful little hats have been donated to Hollis Street Hospital.

Caroline has also crocheted ear protectors for our frontline staff at Cavan hospital. The ear protectors help to prevent sore ears for the staff wearing protective masks for hours at a time.
