Annie's Gifts  for Chemo on Ravelry.com

This week, I finished a couple of more items (fingerless gloves and slippers) to go along with the Cancer Awareness Scarf for October.  I attached care instructions and a note to the recepient.(not shown)

Join in the group on Ravelry.com or contact Kathleen Greco at JellyYarns.com for more information about the items you can make for a patient in need of your creative care. Btw, Kathleen is the winner of the Fearless Leader Flamie Awards 2011. Congrats!

I hope you will continue to allow hand crafted items to lift the spirit.  Surround yourself with them, share them,and encourage others to do the same.

Looking forward to a busy weekend with knitting or crocheting in between the subtle lines of life.

Embraceable Wraps is reaching out and spreading love...

This morning, I awoke to a new follower on Twitter, Embraceable Wraps.  I zipped over to the profile and was so impressed with their goals, outlook and enthusiasm that I wanted to share it with you today.

The goal is to provide items such as wraps, blankets, hats, and socks for women undergoing chemotherapy.  They also have a vision to create an online market of items such as yarns, shawls, sweaters, blankets, and pins for purchase.  Hooray!

Do visit the What We Do section to learn how Teri and Lois teamed up with 21st Century C.A.R.E. to make a difference for so many women...and this is just the beginning of their journey.  Please learn how you can help them reach their goals, follow them along on Twitter, for updates,  and visit their website, embraceablewraps.org. You can help them bring much needed sunshine and love into the life of someone faced with cancer treatments.

Don't you love how knitting and crochet changes lives, inspires people and provides some much needed gratitude in the world?  Amazing goodness...

Margaret- still knitting and crocheting in public, are you? Remember to bring your projects with you this week.  They need some fresh air and sunshine, too.

I had so much fun crocheting a chemo cap at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens over the weekend.
