Sisters of Life



Last week, Ria and I went to a place called SISTERS OF LIFE and donated everything we made for the last month or so. There were about 18 baby hats and several pair of booties. The Sisters were grateful and we are hoping they will send us pictures of the babies wearing the hats. Ria and I decided to start on a new batch to deliver it in February at a place called Covenant House. Many teenage mothers and their babies are given shelter there and they could use our items. We are hoping to improve our skills and dare to knit more than hats. Well, got to go back to knitting....Happy New Year!

Thank You Adelina!

Adelina donated five skeins of blue baby yarn and I have already finished one baby hat. Thank you, Adelina, for your donation! I look forward to the day when we can make the donation. It's coming up soon!

One More Team Member

I would like to welcome Ria to this small team. I am so happy she is participating to the project. She already finished her first baby hat! It's really cute! Well done Ria! I look forward to your next project!

The Project is Expanding!

I have finished last night the seventh baby hat! The great news is that I have received interest in participating to the project. Mrs S asked me if she can crochet a baby blanket which is wonderful and I can't wait to see it. Mrs S showed me how knitting and crocheting can be fun. I learned from my grandma when I was 5-6 year old. It was mandatory for a girl to know those skills in order to make her dowry. You can imagine how much I hated it. I didn't want anyone to know I can knit. It was embarrassing. But things changed, different kind of life happened to me, one that didn't involve any dowry making. I started to look at many things in a different light. Thank you Mrs. S for showing me how to use this skill and make it a creative fun thing! I can't wait to see your baby blanket!
