Cashton Memorial Library Book Worm Society’s October's  Read  

Knitting For Peace

By: Betty Christiansen

For October, we are reading Knitting for Peace by Betty Christiansen.  The author will be visiting Cashton at the end of the month and the Friends of the Library will be hosting a luncheon and quilting / knitting shoe for her visit. 

Amazon says: “All across America, people are knitting for peace. In yarn shops and private homes, churches and synagogues, schools and even prisons, they meet on weekday evenings or weekend afternoons to knit afghans for refugees, mittens for the homeless, socks for soldiers, or preemie caps for AIDS babies. The tradition goes back as far as Martha Washington, who spearheaded knitting efforts for the soldiers of the Revolutionary War, and has seen a recent flourishing in what is nowadays called “charity knitting,” “community knitting,” or “knitting for others.” And whether it’s for world peace, community peace, or peace of mind, today’s various causes have the common goal of knitting the world into a better place one stitch at a time.
