Well, after several years, I picked my knitting needles up again. What finally pushed me to start crafting again? The Marathon Scarf project by the Old South Church in Boston. They put out a call for people to send in scarves in blue and yellow to distribute to runners of the Boston Marathon at their annual Blessing of the Athletes ceremony. I managed to make 2 scarves in time to mail them off.

It is moving to my soul to follow Marathon Scarf project on Facebook and see all the different scarves sent in and to see runners with their scarves. So far, they have received close to 7,000 scarves from around the world!! How exciting to be part of such a huge movement of love and prayers.

I'm having trouble getting my photos from my phone to this blog. But I will post them soon.

I included this blog link on the note attached to my scarves. I hope the runners who get my scarves will visit this blog and leave a note telling us about their run!
