So I was reading this book...

I was reading this book that I picked up at one of my favorite used book stores, and I kinda got inspired.

The book is Knitting for Peace by Betty Christiansen. There is a passage in that book that has also appeared in Interweave Knits. It's an article about knitting in prisons, and how these prisoners are affected by learning how to knit and crochet and what they do with their finished products. The original article can be found here in PDF form.

I want to do that. I want to teach knitting somewhere where it will make an impact on someone's life, where it can help, not just be a hobby. I want to make a difference and knitting is something that I am passionate about.

This book is full of quotes and there is one from Theodore Roosevelt that I thought was very appropriate: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
