Due to my lack of recent, personal knitting and crochet, I bring you a brief tale from the Land of Odd...
When you play with yarn, you fall in love.
When you are in love with your craft, you find other yarn crafters...
...and they find other yarn crafters...
...and so on...
...and so on...
...and so on...
Eventually, you might even meet crafters with a fabric habit...
The two really are not that far removed, one from the other!
Textiles can really bring a group together...even if they are not geographically close.
And when a bunch of crafty ladies, connected by the magic of Ravelry, find out that one of their own is in need of a little tangible love to help her through some rough stuff...well, then you get a Love Bunting!
And perhaps a Love Mobile as well!
We are an Odd little bunch, that's certain...but the love cannot be questioned. Right, Amy?
We love you, and we hope that all the hugs and hand-holds and prayers and good thoughts arrived safely with your happy hearts! Our hearts are with you, now and always!
A special THANK YOU to Julie for putting this all together and shipping it off (along with that beautiful shawl you made - gorgeousss)! Your kindness must be programmed right into your DNA, you diva, you!
Readers, is there someone in your world who could use a little love? Why not take just a few minutes this week to share a smile, a laugh, a word of encouragement, a moment of your time? Be careful, tho! You might be surprised how much love spills right back into your own lap! Love is funny that way...the only way to get more is to give some away!
Thanks for stopping by, and remember to Knit (and Love) in Good Health!
Wonderful post! I know Amy feels the love from as far away as Australia.
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks. You Odds are just the best!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love the way you put the story together.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! But there wouldn't have been this post without the Odds...I love you all!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so cool!
ReplyDeleteAnd it reminded me of something I haven't thought of in a long time: when my oldest was three, I sewed pairs of very small felt hearts together and stuffed them and sewed them onto a ribbon, so that she had a heart necklace.
