When I was much, much younger, one of my aunts took me for knitting lessons. I'm sure I didn't fully appreciate it at the time, but now as a stressed out homeschooling mother of five, I love the calm that comes from sitting down with a ball of yarn and the almost mindless repetition of my knitting needles. Very relaxing. Anyway, I decided to kill two birds with one stone (not that I would ever kill birds, with a stone or anything else for that matter!) by resurrecting my old knitting skills and doing something of good for others. I knit up a bunch of scarves and sent them off to a charity called Knit with Love. This group distributes donated items (scarves, blankets, beanies, and other knitted clothing) to people in need. I love the sound of that and I can't wait to knit up another box full of items to send off. I'm going to try my hands at hats next...wish me luck!
