November 28, 2008

There has been a lot of enthusiasm for knitting. I have been knitting a baby blanket starting out with a triangle and that has created a lot of interest as many of the clients want to make the same blanket to welcome new babies into their families. It is wonderful to see new knitters find they are able to knit a baby blanket after only knitting for a few weeks. One of our ladies is welcoming her sister's baby and wants to knit several blankets and washcloths and have it ready by the holidays. I will be taking photographs of the blankets next week but I have been watching them grow all week. I am surrounded by creativity here.

Thanks to everyone who stays in touch with us. We appreciate it and love hearing from you all.
