10.23.2005 :: Fall Knitting
This past weekend is described wonderfully over at Annie's blog. There was laughing and warm companionship in the quiet mountains of western North Carolina.
The central activity of the weekend was the assembly of the contributed knitted squares sent to Annie from around the world. So much love and careful thought was knit into each and every one of the beautiful squares sent in memory of John, Michael and Doug. As each square was integrated into a quilt, we were all struck by the amazing perfection of emotion, color and harmony that was created.
As we parted, I think we all went away hoping that in some small way these quilts that were knit and assembled with yarn, laughter and tears, will be able to provide some serenity and healing to the families and friends that were so deeply hurt by the loss of these three young men.

Love that photo. Liked the design of those blankets too... I never knew if blankets made a difference until recently when in a time of trouble, my family received a blanket from the Linus Blanket group (I posted on this)... but anyways, it does matter - more than I ever realized... it matters in the lonely dark of the night - when we most need a little help.

Hi Mary! I wandered over from Sandy's Knitting - beautiful, beautiful picture. I'd like to put it in a frame and look at it every day. Your Ellie's eyeliner is like my Riley's - the big soulful stare is a great thing to come home to! Happy knitting...
