The response to the yarn collection for the women's prisoners has been overwhelming and that is a great thing. Today Joe began to unload the bags that I have been picking up this week from the area yarn stores, which were drop off points.
Catie and her friend Courtney assisted as we began to sort, wind and pack. The girls enjoyed it and sat talking about what it must be like to be in jail. I was proud of them as they chose to spend the afternoon helping.
We are almost finished and there is another shipment on the way here, as I write. I just received emails from other knitters who are shipping boxes to my house. I am truly amazed at the kindness people have within them.
I am going to relax for an hour and knit a bit, while Joe cooks us a wonderful dinner of steaks and Botana. I am feeling a bit spoiled today and I love it.
