Followers of my yarns and those who know me will understand that it is time for my annual encouragement to do for others. Yes, I'm going to flat out ask you to knit, crochet, weave, purchase or (gasp) clean out your closet and donate to your chosen organization that focuses on others. Fall and early winter fill the holiday calendar with opportunity to gather with family and friends. Reflection on self, moments of expressing appreciation, laughter, plans for personal change - pick a month and there is cause to turn to thoughts inward.
BUT. . .
Some of our fellow travelers on this earth do not have family.
Some have a family stressed too the limit.
Some have been too long in the valley.
Some are struggling with visible and invisible illness.
Some just need a hug.
Do for others and then do for self. It's OK to share the love.
Crochet chemo cap above is another that will be donated to Knots of Love. One day of staying home to clean and cook and a young woman will be stylish.
