Lost WIP Owner Found!!!

Posted on April 12, 2010April 12, 2010 by Michele

How absolutely exciting!

It looks like the owner of this knitting project has been found!

One of the members of Ravelry, the knitting and crochet forum where this search began, recognized the project as possibly having belonged to a friend of hers. The project was apparently lost during a flight to North Carolina to visit a son in the military before deployment.

As of this morning, it’s making it’s way back to the original owner, now living in Colorado. The friend has said that the original owner is a bit embarrassed by all the attention her lost project has brought her way but this whole thing just makes for such a wonderful story of sharing, thoughtfulness and the kindness of strangers.

A few folks have questioned the ownership claim since the yarn and needles are fairly pricey but this does sound like the real deal and Ravelry members are seeing if this story might get picked up by the media – one of those happy stories about living in America sort of things.

All I can say, is now every time I think about this story, it just brings a happy smile to my face thinking how wonderful the people who call themselves crafters and knitters can be!

    My sister always loved knitting, she loves to knit customized patterns.;”;

    I’ll be forwarding this story to her. I’m sure she would enjoy it.

Blog About Crafts

Back in 2006, when this site was launched, there was a gal who loved to help other artists and crafters build their business. She had several websites, including this one, dedicated to that endeavor. She helped them fly, while she only dabbled. Finally, she has joined them in pursuing her own artistic endeavors which can be found at Michele Tway Mixed Media & Fiber Art.
