Knitting For a Purpose

Tonight I attended a meeting at church. A group of women from The Daughters of Mary are forming a Knitting group. The idea will be for us to knit Prayer Shawls and lap blankets for the sick or shut in of the parish. Right now there are only 8 of us as the group is starting. If we are successful and the group gets larger we may decide to knit for a cancer center or a nursing home. The possibilities are endless. The women in the group were very friendly. I'm finally getting to know some of the people in the parish. I've belonged to the parish since I was 19, but all the people I've known are no longer there. I figured it was time to meet the newer parish members. This group will meet twice a month. I'm looking forward to another reason to knit.
