On Saturday I met a woman at the Amherst Winter Farmers Market who knits "stump socks" for American War Veterans. She is a member of the Granny Peace Brigade in Philadelphia. Their mission is to work for peace in Iraq and Afghanistan and to bring home the troops in good medical - physical and mental - condition and to jobs. The stump sock pattern is available on line Here on Google Docs.
I've just heard about an upcoming knitting retreat being held near Hartford. Janet Bristow and Vicky Galo are the original founders of the Prayer Shawl Ministry and travel nationwide to present their ministry workshops. Both are graduates of the Hartford Seminary’s Women’s Leadership Institute, and are authors of The Prayer Shawl Companion and The Crocheted Prayer Shawl Companion. It is April 2 from 10 to 3. Check it out here.
And because there can't be a day without a sheep or lamb photo, here are Coco and Chanel dozing on one of our Persian rugs via the Hipstamatic.
And another of them smiling for the camera.

How can you stand having such sweet little faces in your house?!? I wouldn't get a stitch of work done.
I just made them my computer wallpaper so now I'm highly doubting my productivity level for the day.
omigosh, they are soooo cute!
I have had a thing for lambs all my life and reading your blog, even with the snow, I really want a couple of lambs. I love that you bring them inside
Soo cute - love them:-) Stay warm, Inge
I love the pictures of the new lambs!
There simply isn't a word in the English vocabulary that could fully capture the aww factor of Coco and Chanel!
What a wonderful story about Barbara. Thank you so much for sharing it.
There is a woman just like her that goes to my LYS. She does not knit nor make things for the heroes, but she does amazing work too.
Awe, they are so so cute. Love your photos...
