Just thought you might like to know that a few weeks ago the San Francisco Giants had a Knitters Day. Nice to see a whole section of knitters going strong while enjoying the game.

I will spread the word to my Knitting group in Stockholm, Sthlm Knitters (http://sthlmknitters.blogdrive.com). Maybe we can make something of it too.

Hi! Our knitting group made Wateraid squares on Saturday at our meeting – please click and have a look! I love this idea – so much more meaningful than simply signing a petition!

What a juxtaposition! I find it completely difficult to watch anything on tv without something in my hands to work on. Knitting is such a soothing thing to do that it probably made watching this a better experience.

I will spread the word to my local Knit group (Knitting for Needs)…

Also, I loved your article…humanity or rather capitalism at it’s worse…

Peace,
Emily

I am so with you there. I too wish I could knit… perhaps this is just the push to try to do something YET again… a square seems simple enough.

Indeed. All weekend I’ve been “whipping up” charity quilts. I have many other things I want to make for myself, other things to do… but the need is great and if I can help someone else while doing something I enjoy, well then.. no excuses! Wish I could knit – that seems like a great project.
