YARN ALONG

On my needles has been

plain and simple dish cloths,

nothing fancy, but cloths

that get the job done and

really that's all I needed.

 

Cast on 30 stitches of cotton

yarn on size 8 needles, knit

in garter for 22 ridge bumps

and bind off. Simple.

 

The women at my hair salon

asked for some and then I

realized I really needed to

replace the ones in my kitchen

since the cloths I had were

more than tattered so I just

kept on knitting. Now there

is a draw full of new and

bright cloths.

 

I just finished reading

Etched in Sand, a memoir

written by Regina Calcaterra

about her life and that of her

sister's growing up in the

foster system.  While the

book held my attention,

and made me cry, it also

renewed my drive to see

about becoming a foster

mama, a caring and loving

foster mama.
