The new extra credit challenge is to knit either an Alien or
Monster, they can be any shape, size and/or color. The challenge is to knit and
have fun with it.
We also wanted to encourage everyone to keep knitting away
on their socks and/or legwarmers. We are so excited to see what everyone comes
up with for February's Knitters WALK on the Moon challenge!
On another note the month of February is supposed to be
about love, so we quickly wanted to address something that is near and dear to
our hearts. For those of us that participate on the Ravelry website we need to
remain a friendly and inviting community. Knitters, crocheters and crafters alike
are a wonderful group of people who have created a community all their own, a
community that has on numerous occasions done some amazing things for others.
However sadly sometimes within this community we can be mean and hurtful. We
have the right to disagree and not have the same views, but we do not have the
right to be cruel. Let's take a moment and put ourselves in someone else's shoes, redirect our
feelings in a positive direction and remember that words are our most powerful tool. Let's use them to breathe life. We are sorry if we seem soap boxy, we don't mean to offend or
put anyone off, we are just noticing things that we feel could also be
upsetting to others and wanted to express our feelings on the matter.
On a more positive note we are loving the Valentines going
out, yay for more LOVE in our mailboxes. We also wanted to say a huge thank you
to everyone that has sent hats for the Halos of Hope foundation. The children
in their program will greatly appreciate them. We are grateful to have such a
wonderful group of friends, you all rock!Have a wonderful weekend and we will see you all back here next Friday :)
