yarn cakesWanted to share this poem with you all. My SIL wrote this for me some time back and I really like it and thought I'd post so you all could enjoy. It so fits our cause.
-----

Give me a hook

And as least one skein

Don’t need a book

To begin the chain.

It might start from here

It might start from there

Our yarn makes warmth

With hats to wear.

Our yarn spreads love

To nameless faces

Our yarn is a gift

That goes many place.

We judge no one

By the lives they lead

Our yarn makes us humble

Humble indeed.

Thank you so much Jan for this very meaningful poem

    I've never been able to write a poem, so really admire those who can. Nice poem and it seems so very appropriate.

    That stand of yarn has traveled many miles.
    I have seen the hats you make for the homeless
    over here in Oregon.
    Jans poem says it all.,,,,

    It took a lot of yarn,
    it traveled many miles.
    that is a lot of love
    that just keeps on giving.
    And look how many
    faces
    just saying thank you
    xoxo
