small differences

~ hoping that differences can be made with small steps ~


about all of this

Thank you for stopping by ~ this blog has a bit of a different purpose.

Over the past little while, I have been finding a little following for my hand knits and while I give quite a few away, some have been sold.

I have decided that for every scarf that I sell or give away ... I will make a donation of $5 to the MS Society in Canada.

So, I am hoping that small steps can make a difference ~ my personal journey of helping a little at a time

Small gifts 2013





Once again, this year … I did my best to make scarves for everyone on my list and then some.
I love that my skills are getting better and better, and that I am becoming more experienced.

I am getting wonderful feedback from my clients and from those whom I have past along the warmth of a hand knit scarf.

Two in particular will go back to Japan this year with a family that I have met over the past 6 months and that I have become good friends with! I hope that they will keep them warm in the damp Tokyo winters. Warmth to you Tomoko!

And once again, I have given a small but hopefully useful donation to the MS society in hopes of paying a little something forward.

Warmth and best wishes,
Barbara

my 5th completed and given




So, here I am at scarf number five completed and gone to a new home ... this is a light and soft cotton which be wonderful for our spring here in Canada.


Another wonderful thing is that the MS Society has a spring matching campaign right now so my $25 ( for 5 scarves) will turn into $50 to fund much needed research!

Wishing you a wonderful spring ...

My latest ~



This was a beautiful Italian spun yarn with lots of colour and texture ... it knit up to a beautiful scarf that was so soft and colourful ... with amazing drape. No need for any exotic pattern, just a straight garter stitch was exactly what it needed.

radiation


I don't think there has been a word more prevalent in our conversations of late. So many of all those stories have disturbed me on so many levels.
Well, this scarf has gone to a friend undergoing radiation treatment ... it is very soft and light and will not hurt her skin which is badly burned ...
Wishing you all the very best
