Sunshine Knitters

Sunshine Knitters | February 9, 2011

We just received a donation of 19 scarves from the “Sunshine Knitters,” a group of elderly ladies in a nursing home in Florida. They rock! Read the attached letter from them:

“Here are some scarves. I held back 3 of Sylvia weavers to send along next month. I now have a wonderful professional knitter helping people learn some new stitches. Judy has the patience of Job and has just started coming to me on Friday afternoons. So I hope my work will improve. I cannot tell you how much your endeavor has helped me. I look forward to knitting each day–as do most of us who can still do handwork. Couple of ladies have died, but Dorothy Barnard (now 107 years old) is too ill to knit. Her sister and caregiver says she always smiles when the knitting project is mentioned. I do want you to know that Edythe still does all of the crocheted edges. Thanks for making a lot of old ladies happy with something worthwhile to do. Affectionately, Ann Hall.”

My mom says, “if you ever doubt the effect of your work, read this.”
