A little bit of joy arrived in my in-box this afternoon with an email from Christina Campbell. Her knitting patterns always offered that perfect blend of artistic interest and gentle repetition that encouraged self-care, meditation and, yes, peace. Between 2016-2020, I participated in four Project Peace knitalongs (KAL). Then life intervened and her blog was silent. But she has returned letting her readers and fellow knitters know that “… after two years of reading, writing, time in Shetland, walks in the woods, and releasing a lot into the compost pile, it is time to emerge.”
Her 2023 Project Peace theme will be Pathways to Peace. While she will not be releasing a new pattern, she has promised a daily blog post to help guide our steps on that path. She is encouraging knitters to choose their own pattern, possibly one of her earlier designs, like my Project Peace shawl from 2020. Back then we were slogging through yet more days of pandemic distancing and the theme Peace in Place created a textured triangular wrap with a lacy contrasting border.
Happy knitting!

I saw this too and was overjoyed! I followed Christina’s recent trips to Shetland on Instagram and loved her words and images. I am very happy that she is going to be posting this month. Now, what kind of project will I be working on as I contemplate pathways to peace in December?
