Last Sunday, we hosted a special event at our shop in honor of one of our own. We had asked you all to donate blanket strips to make a healing blanket for a knitter in our community who is battling cancer. You wouldn’t believe the turn out. We have enough blanket strips for 2, almost 3 blankets! On Sunday, a good crowd showed up to piece the strips together. We seamed them in a staggered way so that the differing lengths worked well together. There is such a lovely variety of stitch patterns and colors. The blankets will most certainly bring a smile to her face and help her to know that we are all thinking of her and hope she gets better very soon.
