Dear knitters,
This is a blanket with a story. It is a story of many kind ladies who knitted squares in their retirement homes. It is a story of high-school children who started putting it together. Then work-to-rule happened, and the high-school knitting club was cancelled. The blanket was waiting for another group of children to finish it.
Then the March break happened and a group of 10- and 11-year-old girls stitched the squares together but the break was short and they didn’t finish it.
Then summer came and summer camps started. One was called String Along with Us, and along we strung. The blanket was finally finished! During our morning meeting, we held it up and told some 85 school-age kids that they were capable of making a real difference in their communities, one stitch at a time.
So here is the blanket. It was made by many hands, young and not-so-young… and it is beautiful and ready to be donated to the Phoenix Youth Shelter.
As I was taking photos of the blanket, these guys appeared in my backyard. Even though these deer did not contribute to the blanket… they showed up and became a part of the story. And this is the end.
