Nathania was so taken with the idea that she has decided to join along. She’s beginning with the Evenstar Shawl by Susan Pandorf. Both shawls were cast on at Winter Solstice 2011 (in the Northern Hemisphere),and the project will continue until Winter Solstice 2012. Would you like to join us? As Sandi said in her blog post about it,“Knitted,crochet,felted,woven,sewn,stitched,using whatever technique speaks to your spirit,create something that conveys Love and warmth,seed the Light of Peace in yourself,and then reach out. It doesn’t matter how many pieces you make,nor how quickly,it is the intent that counts. Peace,begin with me.”

Sandi took on a mission for the coming year,to bring peace into the world in a very particular way. Given that we are fiber artists,she wanted to make this into something tangible. She had long wanted to knit Fiber Trends’Peace Shawl. This beautiful design by the inestimable Evelyn Clark features trees and people holding hands with the word “Peace”knitted into the very edging. Since when endeavoring to create change,the first place to look is to ourselves,Sandi decided to knit this shawl for herself. When this is finished she will cast on a new shawl,probably a different design,for someone who is close to her,for their comfort and healing. Thus peace ripples out. When that is finished,she’ll cast on another shawl,this time for someone she doesn’t know. And so the work ripples out to ever widening circles,a chain reaction of peaceful wishes going out into the world.
