I spent a little time tonight at my friends' "Knitting for Peace" finale. This group has been knitting together at church over the past five years and blessing the world with their handmade goodness. Washcloths to Mozambique, Haiti, the Philippines, and Cambodia. Teddy Bears to AIDS orphans in Africa.
Not only did this group offer gestures of care and compassion through their knitting, but they also formed a beautiful intergenerational fellowship that spanned a good 70 years of age. Due to some changes in the Sunday morning church schedule and the changing seasons of the leaders' lives, the Sunday morning knitting group is disbanding. But, oh, what a blessing they've been! And I am sure that the friendships and the knitting will carry on. Beautiful!!!
