This week I met the KnitNite girls on Friday morning. It’s not very easy for us to meet in the evening hours during these war days in Israel. Therefore the Tuesday evening Knit nights moved to either Thursday or Friday morning. We decide on it as the week goes by and make the plan according to the war days routine.

This week we had a Friday morning KnitNite which was like a little light or even therapy for us all.

As you can imagine it’s not the usual talk around the table. In some moments the joyful making mixed with tears. Many of us are volunteering these days and the stories that are shared are too hard for the heart. We feel lucky to have our hands busy with knitting these days. SO lucky.
Actually the Friday morning KnitNite girls just left a few minutes ago. After they left, I washed all the tea and coffee cups and placed everything in the studio back to its place. While tidying up the room I realized my heart is full of positive uplifting feelings. This feeling is SO rare and uncommon for us these days. But yes, bad feelings and anxiety were replaced with some good feelings, even if only for moments. Now that our world turned upside down these knitting clubs are even more meaningful.

A new life update is now live on YouTube. It’s mainly about managing the constant horrifying news but I also shared my makings. They keep me sane and help me manage the constant stress.
I will never be the same person as I was before October 7th. We will all never be the same. I want to thank you for adding your love into my Bono Bunny charity pattern idea. There are more details about on YouTube. Please watch my new episode and please like, share and subscribe, it can help a lot. xxMo

I keep praying for your family and all of Israel. It’s always wonderful to see and hear from you. God bless you and yours and your knitting group. Beauty always helps and you make such beautiful things. Please let us know if we can do something for the children of Israel with toys and things that may bring comfort.

Dear Mo, I am happy to see that crafting and socialising and homemaking helps you all in dealing with these horrifying events. There is so much beauty in this, despite all this evil and hate and brutality, and I am deeply moved by it. It is so very precious to have this ability, to make something sacred and healing of so seamingly mundane things, and I like to think that God feels invited and is among you, helping you carry all the weight and heal your hearts. That is what I hope and pray for.
Lots of love and hope and healing to you all, Bea

Dear Mo, thank you for giving us your precious time. Nesting with your family is so comforting at times like this, cooking favourite foods talking sharing the good and the bad. You are in our prayers and we hope peace comes soon. You are an amazing lady, an inspiration of how to stay strong.
Peace and love
Thelma
