Oh my gosh!!!!! I love to knit and have tons of cotton yarn!!! I dont have anyone to knit for and I do donate scarves and shawls to the homeless shelter. I am on a budget so only use yarn that is from a big box store so this is perfect!!!!! I am rushing over to the web page and joining the fb page now!!! I am so excited to start this new adventure for 2022!!!!! Thank you so much for this great opportunity to share kindness and love to the less fortunate. I am so blessed to be able to share a little to others!

I really loved this episode Irina. One of things that I love to do is to participate in charity knitting that helps others. Because of my healthcare background I was drawn to a non-profit organization called Knitted Knockers. This group knits breast prostheses that can be used by women after they have a mastectomy. They are light an natural feeling and are appreciated around the world. This episode made me think about Knitted Knockers (they are a little more challening than soap sacks, but I believe that they provide a great service to a very vulnerable group of women. I would like to suggest that you consider having Barbara Demorest (President, also a knitter) from knitted knockers for an interview. I guarantee that you would not be disappointed. I watch every one of your interviews as soon after they are released as possible. Please continue this great work. Gary
