The coats have found their rightful owners and are being sent via mail today.
Thank you Mary Dyck, (administrative assistant at Bethany Chapel, Calgary)
for solving the mystery of the coats. Facebook alerted her attention to the blog title.
Mary will be receiving a copy of the Celebrations book.
She was quite excited to know that she would receive her own copy,
as she had purchased many copies as Christmas gifts, but did not own one herself.

So what happens when you are on a plane and you find yourself knitting.
but realized you forgot a stitch marker. A stitch marker is an enclosed hole, which can
mark when you need to increase a stitch or mark the beginning of a row.
Well I began desperately searching for something to mark my row.
In my pocket I found a bag....you know what I mean, isn't it for garbage?
Or would it be referred to as an emesis pouch?
I created my own marker by tearing off the twist tie and it worked perfectly
while we were cruising at an altitude of 40,000 feet.
When there's a will, there's a way.
It worked perfectly.
Here's a collection of some of the items that I have been knitting over the past months.
Anything from scarves, to cowls, toques, booties and blankets.
I always vowed to myself that when I retired from my work outside of the home,
I wanted to take up a hobby.
And I quickly chose knitting, and began classes in our own community.
"Knitting is clothing made in spare moments, or round the fire, whenever
women gathered together... It's something to celebrate-clothes made in
love and service, something women have always done.”
If I stitch fast enough does it count as an aerobic exercise?
