Knitting for Peace
















I picked up this truely inspirational book at my LYS, Knitique, last week. This is the first knitting book to bring me to tears.
Yes, there are projects. Yes, there is beautiful photography. Yes, it's well written and produced.

But, no, it is not your everyday knitting tome.

Images of clumsy prison convicts armed with yarn and needles to knit for orphans in middle eastern countries is just not something one thinks about. But one of the many charitable and peaceful things you will read about in "Knitting for Peace" by Betty Christiansen.

I hope you enjoy it and are as inspired as I was to go forth an make a difference "one stich at a time". Have a great day!
