I received a package in the mail this morning… it brought me to tears.
You see, the amazing Bev posted a Pay It Forward challenge and I responded. She PIF’ed me the most amazing gift…
No Joke. I dyed that yarn as part of the Year of the Sock club.
So…she took my yarn… knit it into a beautifully, and lovingly crafted shawl… and gave it to me. I am tearing up just thinking about the hours of work and intention that she put into it. I will always wear this shawl and remember how powerful a random act of kindness can be. I am speechless. (that is really hard for me!)
To honor Bev… I am also going to PIF 3 people.
The first 3 people to comment on this post will receive a hand-crafted PIF from me if you PROMISE to send 3 PIF’s yourself.
Also, will you all please go tell BEV how amazing she is.
ETA:
I love it BEV!!! Thanks! And thanks Jody for the photos!
