Holiday Season

As we approach the end of another year and the holiday season, many families in Canada will experience the heartache of celebrating without a loved one who has died from a drug overdose. News stories often highlight addicts living in homeless encampments, prompting debates about whether this should be allowed. However, as a society, we must ask ourselves what actions we are taking to address this issue. Every person living on the streets is someone's son or daughter. Despite the poor choices they may have made, they are still our children and need our support.

Don't forget to give yourself time to just knit or crochet and complete those unfinished projects. I like to search the internet and make a list of new knitting patterns I want to try in the new year.  Whatever you choose to do, make sure you enjoy yourself, and snap some selfies or take a video to capture the moments and celebrate this special time of year!  A huge thank you to all the knitters and crocheters across Canada who joined our tribe at Joeriaknits in 2021 and 2022.   Wishing you all a wonderful holiday and may your Christmas and new year be merry and bright!
