Amidst the devastation comes hope for little girls

Some of you know that one of my "causes" is knitting for "afghans for Afghans," the enterprise of one woman in partnership with the Quaker organization, American Friends Service Committee.

Here is an article about their work. The narrative is a bit wandering, but do look at the smiles on the faces of the children.

I'm currently finishing a girl's sweater in beautiful shades-of-rose wool/mohair from Peace Fleece, which benefits wool growers in Maine, Russia, Roumania, and Palestine/Israel.

Crochet items most welcome--or you could check out crocheting teddy bears for Mother Bear if all you have is synthetic yarn. Afghanistan's winters are just too cold for anything but animal fibers, which can get pricey.
