Knitting Group

About three weeks before I left Zambia, our knitting group started their projects. It's been really exciting to see the ladies working together, building relationships and teaching one another. One of the ladies, Hilda, had never knit before. She completed her first sweater (black and white one) and a toque. Way to go Hilda!

I will be selling the items while I'm here in Canada to raise money for the program (and for the ladies) and to create awareness of our little project. If you are interested in any of the pieces below, please let me know. They are all children's sizes.


Check out the video on the right of the ladies working and singing.
