We celebrated the upcoming holidays today with gifts and some delicious homemade snacks. Last week the clients were asked to think about and write a knitting wish list. Some of the women wished for circular needles and many for larger needles than they had been using. Many asked for fun fur in different colors. Some wanted yarn for afghans. Each woman was able to receive some of her yarn wishes. After we passed out the gift bags the women were asked to go around and talk about and show the group what they had receivecd. The clients expressed their gratitude to the volunteers for coming each week and for teaching them. The clients have different levels of skill as there are continually new admissions and discharges. Some have been working on many new techniques: short row scarves, vertical scarves, ponchos. The women have enjoyed making gifts for their family members and also in teaching their family and friends who come to vist. I will continue to take photos to display the creations. And keeping with the knitting theme, I am posting a photo of my decorated office door!!! The wreath is decorated with balls of yarn!!!!!!
