Even the most challenging issues have stories of success. If your nonprofit works in disaster relief, share a story of survival.

In late 2009 I knit a pattern from the Fall 2009 issue of Knitscene magazine. But it did help feed my yarn habit over the past couple of years. Knitting became an obsession in my life again and I haven’t stopped. As everything else I knit, I logged it in Ravelry. ” So this work allows me to do what I love (knit!)
