YOU CAN ALSO HEAR HER MUSIC!!!!


THANKS FOR VISITING US!


















Today Joy Styles (JOYSTYLES.COM) came to our knitting group. Joy is a JOY! Joy and I met at a knitting group several weeks ago and sang there as we knitted together. Her singing is beautiful, inspiring and uplifting. We invited her to visit our knitting group when she was visiting Philadelphia again. We all enjoyed being with her. The women expressed their appreciation both in words and by their complete attention as she sang Christmas Carols, her own works, and many favorite songs of the women attending the group. Every week our two hour group goes by much too fast. This week, having Joy entertaining us, the time passed even faster. Joy spent time talking individually with many of the women as she signed their books. They spontaneously gave her a gift of knitted scarves which she wore!

The snow melted! Our volunteers were back in almost full force. We started our group by our usual go around with each person displaying what they had been working on during the week. The women's knitting skill is increasing as they try new stitches and designs. Several are making vertical scarves with strips of varying yarns. Fun fur scarves are being made not entirely of fun fur but with different yarns in between.
