CONCORD, N.H. – Kyla Gill had never so much as touched a sewing machine or picked up a crochet hook two weeks ago. Now, she’s hooked on crafting for critters 10,000 miles (16,000 km) away, to the point of temporarily putting aside her floor refinishing business in Pittsburgh. The Animal Rescue Craft Guild, based in Australia, and associated groups have told their members to pause work while they take stock of donated items. ADVERTISEMENTKey, who lives in Yamba in New South Wales, said she was inspired by her mother, who was knitting animal pouches, and figured she could put her own skills in marketing to good use. “It really opened my eyes to ways crafters can help other animal rescue organizations,” she said.
