Amish Knitting Circle- Beginnings Volume 1

by: Karen Anna Vogel
Another Trestle Press Digital Short Series:

“Granny Weaver is praying for five women in her Old Order Amish community in Smicksburg, PA., but nothing seems to be happening. Spinning wool one day she ponders the fact that fibers wrapped around each other make a yarn that’s hard to break. Maybe the women she sees unraveling need to be spun together so they don’t break.
So Granny starts a knitting circle to make items for tornado victims in Joplin, MO. She invites Maryann who looks too tired and needs a break from her eight children.

Binding off is a way to end your knitting so that it doesnt unravel all your work like you see in the cartoons.
