Anything Knitted and Crocheted: Fallen Angels poem by Sally

Anything Knitted and Crocheted

Welcome to my blog. I hope to blog about my knitting and crocheting as well as everyday life. The patterns that I post are original and as such there is copyright on them. When they are based on another pattern there is a link to the pattern.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful dog named Leo. He is a dachshund and absolutely adorable! we adopted him on June 23, 2010 and he has become the love of our lives.

I love to share patterns that I find along the way or to talk about some of the neatest designers that are out there today, so I love to post links to the designs or the designers.

So grab a cup a and sit and enjoy the blog.

Fallen Angels poem by Sally - friend of Lynn's

Fallen Angels

Many years of anguish
and many tears were shed
And no one knew a thing
or that is what was said
Going about with blinders on
not `seeing' what was there
Relatives were in turmoil
and in desperate despair

Through thick and thin and anger
they rallied and they spoke
Until the law they listened
and they finally awoke
The missing they were women
who did have families

Not some worthless piece of trash
to be forgotten painlessly
------------------
The sun shines on you no more
but you will shine in our hearts forever
Lost…
but never forgotten

Your life came to an end in a terrible way
And nobody noticed.
Nobody cared.

You were a mother
Your were a sister.
You were a cousin and
you were an aunt.
You were a "somebody", who loved and lived.

What a beautiful poem.

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge - A requirement for all Knitting Scouts, the recipient must do his or her bit to present knitting in a positive light, whilst at the same time avoiding all references to “hipness”, grandmothers, and yoga.

I’m always doing my part in this arena whether it’s spoken or written like in this blog. I teach at my local community league, which was a fluke. I am involved in the Alberta Avenue Initiative and was asked to teach both knitting and crochet. I start with dishcloths as it gives the basics.

The “MacGyver” Badge (Level One) - The recipient must demonstrate clever use of a non-knitting tool in a knitting-related scenario. For instance, recipient has used paper clips as stitch markers, or successfully whittled and then utilized bamboo skewers as dpns.

I’ve used all kinds of things as stitch markers when none were available, and have found clever ways of knitting cables without cable needles using skewers.
