The Heart of the Matter
My good friend and knitter extraordinaire, Sue Baker, formed a knitting club at Poly Drive Elementary this past winter. A group of young knitters gathered weekly to learn the basics of knitting. Little did Sue know that she was teaching life lessons with each knit and purl. The group decided to knit squares that could eventually turn into a blanket for the local battered womans shelter.
I don’t know about you but my belief is that the more we give and teach our children to give, the more goodness will come back. All the knitting, the time and effort of putting each square together, coordinating people’s time and energy resulted in a beautiful end product.
Great job knitters and helpers! Your one good act will make a world of difference.



















Wow! That’s inspiring!
Wonderful blanket, wonderful spirit
The girls in the group were 9-11 years old and the coordinator of the shelter told them she would save the blanket for a girl who arrives who is “tween” aged because they generally don’t have many donations to comfort for this age. Our knitters were all very touched!
