Knitters…….are you up for a challenge?!
Knitters…….are you up for a challenge?!
Are your family and friends begging you not to send them any more home made items? Are you working on projects that take forever to complete? Are you looking for a way to support other women? Do I have a plan for you.
Get out your needles and start knitting socks. Remember how fast and easy it is to knit a pair of socks? A home made pair of socks say, you are cared about, you deserve some nurturing, you matter. If you are reading this blog, you are already aware of the amazing job Reeling & Healing Midwest does for cancer survivors. I am a cancer survivor and was an honored guest at a weekend event. The fliers suggest that you bring warm socks to use in the waders. I did not see many warm socks. Now it is up to us, the knitters of the world, to make sure these men and women have warm socks. Socks not just for fly-fishing, but for wearing during a long chemo session. Socks for wearing when you find yourself pounds thinner, with no hair (anywhere) for insulation. If everyone who knits just sends one pair of socks, imagine how many women and men we can make feel all snuggly and warm. Pass this message on. Email this address for mailing information: kltooman@chartermi.net.
I will keep you posted as the socks come mailing in. Together we can end the suffering of the naked toes of cancer survivors.
Socks on! Kathy
