Fraternity and community
One of my greatest joys from knitting is
the global knitting community.
Before computers there was not really such
a thing.
Nowadays there are groups, message boards,
meet-ups, and blogs all about knitting.
The knitting community is such an inspiration
to me. So many people have put in so many
hours helping others.
Every hat and sweater I knit for some little
child in Afghanistan gives me so much joy.
All these volunteer projects make me happy
and utterly proud to be a knitter.
Whoever would have thought of knitters
as activists making the world a better place.
But you better believe it.
