Close Knit Hugs

A community knitting project, helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina and other disasters. Squares are conventional persons, honest and trustworthy; they are also the centers of towns, and many squares blanket a community.

NOVEMBER 4, 2009--DON'T FAINT; I'M BACK. My son's wedding is over. . .it was beautiful despite rain and unseasonablly cold temperatures. It did mean the colors were at their peak, however. Since most guests were from out of town, they relished Michigan's fall. Lots of laughs, the bride and groom designated the animal shelter in lieu of gifts so it was a happy occasion for humans and animals alike.

My friend Carroll told me I better get this page updated, and with the daily arrival this week of squares and more squares, well here I am. Carroll also gave me a great table to set up in the basement to piece together blankets, and since the garden is frozen, the animal shelter running smoothly, I will be back at blankets for Christmas and New year's delivery in Louisiana. By the way, I love the fact there are so many animal advocates out there who are knitters and crocheters, too! Thanks as always to Ruth for the two new blankets, to Helen from California--the squares are perfect; and to Diane for the boxes over the last two months.
