Knitters Everywhere!

God has truly been bringing many women together for the layette project. There is no other way to explain all that has happened. A friend of mine who knits, Casey Goodall, told me about Chris Murphy who knits baby hats and sends them to Knitting4Peace in Denver. She also mentioned Jane Childs who we worked with at Penn State who is part of a Peace Pod with Knitting4Peace. Jane then told me about another Peace Pod at St. Andrews Episcopal Church that sends knit items to Knitting4Peace too.

Well, I connected with all of them and even found a knitting group at Penn State called Knitivism. Instead of sending their items to Denver to Knitting4Peace we have arranged for the Peace Pods to give them to me directly to take to Rwanda. Saves on the postage. So now I am a delivery agent for Knitting4Peace!!!

What do they make for the babies? Hats, washcloths, blankets, sweaters and peace dolls. Babies can lose body heat at the 7,000 ft elevation. Cool nights and no heating means babies need to be bundled.

Thank you to the many women sharing their many gifts!!!
