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!

How The Idea Was Born

Each of us can do very little to make a difference. It doesn't take a lot of money and it doesn't take a lot of time. I had a busy schedule, always running around. A couple of weeks ago I got injured and suddenly my world changed. I had the choice to feel sorry for myself or to make the best of my time. I wasn't going to let one injury control my life. The idea came to me Saturday morning. I needed a project. I had learned to knit and crochet when I was little but I can only do simple projects. Why not putting that skill (however limited) and time to good use? So I decided to knit all sorts of hats and scarves and take them to orphanages or hospitals and give them to women who need to keep their babies warm. So, if you can make something and have some spare yarn let's make a collection and keep some babies warm this winter.
