Suffering & Knitting

Flashback to July 4th, a day full of festivities at Chautauqua and across the country, celebrating the courage and vision of a group of citizens who wanted a better life for themselves and demanded and took their rights. They made their share of mistakes along the way, and we live with some of them today, but where would we be if they had let their fear of making mistakes stop them.

On this Wednesday, we gathered at beautiful, serene Alumni Hall Porch with Kate Simmons, Creative Director of women4women-knitting4peace, to learn to knit. We were inspired by the vision and work of women4women, especially since it empowers the knitter to show his or her love and care for another in a tangible, useful way that transcends culture.
