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.

Thank you all for your huge support on this project and for making such absolutely lovely pieces!
