My wife was thrilled to learn that Acrylic is acceptable (She's allergic to wool) and is working on a hat now. And she turns out stuff quick! Especially in worsted weight.</p>treppenwitz commented on 'Not feeling like much much of a pioneer anymore'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0147e1b187fc970b2011-01-18T06:38:17Z2011-01-18T06:38:17Ztreppenwitzhttp://www.treppenwitz.comYaeli ...

It might be a tad inaccurate to say I have <i>'re inspired'</i> you, seeing as the first time around you got off to such a slow start. :-) Glad to hear you are back on it. </p>
<p>shelley bloom... You should know that the girls from 'Stitch and B*tch' are very close to my heart. :-)</p>
<p>Raz.. So you are blaming the whole 'dati leumi' phenomenon on a bunch of do-gooders making knitted hats?! :-)</p>
<p>Leah Caruso ... How did you miss this the first time around? :-) Glad to hear you got the word this time anyway. My friend Channah will be delighted at the new knitters.</p>
<p>Kiwi Noa ... I'm sure she appreciated it. Jenny and her family sound like really interesting people. And yes, Channah is probably tickled at the ripple affect from her little/big idea.</p>
<p>Jenny in Alaska... I have read through your entire archive and am now a devoted fan. Thanks for taking the time to share a glimpse of your life. Isn't it amazing the connections that the Internet makes possible?</p>
<p>Jack ... You mean you aren't? :-)</p>
<p>Batya... Keep in mind that there are a few neighbors up there... and they can contact a plane if they have an emergency. Also, Jenny is a nurse, so they have that little bit of security. Aside from the communal obligations of certain Jewish rituals, I sometimes wish I could live like that.</p>Batya commented on 'Not feeling like much much of a pioneer anymore'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0147e1b071d0970b2011-01-18T04:08:05Z2011-01-18T04:08:05ZBatyahttp://shilohmusings.blogspot.com/I can't imagine living in such isolation.

Yes, seriously, near Shiloh and other places in YoSh. But they're just a cell call or shout away from civilization.</p>Jack commented on 'Not feeling like much much of a pioneer anymore'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0147e1aec589970b2011-01-18T00:12:47Z2011-01-18T00:12:47ZJackhttp://www.thejackb.com/Sometimes I think about living like that.<p>Sometimes I think about living like that.</p>Jenny in Alaska commented on 'Not feeling like much much of a pioneer anymore'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0147e1ae35b9970b2011-01-17T22:37:51Z2011-01-17T22:37:51ZJenny in Alaskahttp://frontierfreedom.blogspot.comThank you so much for posting this info about my blog and lifestyle of my family.

I'm so glad they told me. You have a great blog and I am enjoying it very much. Channah is wonderful to do this for the IDF soldiers, and it is good to be part of this. American women used to do the same thing for soldiers during World Wars I and II.<br />
Best wishes,<br />

I wonder if Channah realised what she had done when she started knitting for the soldiers. She is now knitting ladies together from all over the planet.</p>Leah Caruso commented on 'Not feeling like much much of a pioneer anymore'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0147e1ab8145970b2011-01-17T16:19:18Z2011-01-17T16:19:18ZLeah Carusohttp://therebbetzinrocks.wordpress.comOk, posted it and within 2 minutes I already have 7 people interested!

Girls throughout the country were knitting hats to keep the soldiers warm in the winter. After the winter, they were so used to constantly knitting that they took up crocheting and began making kippot. This led to the popularity of the "kippah serugah."</p>shelley bloom commented on 'Not feeling like much much of a pioneer anymore'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0147e1aadb74970b2011-01-17T14:51:41Z2011-01-17T14:51:41Zshelley bloomThanks, for reminding everyone of our "Chicks with Sticks" project - keep those knitting needles clacking!!<p>Thanks, for reminding everyone of our "Chicks with Sticks" project - keep those knitting needles clacking!!</p>Yaeli commented on 'Not feeling like much much of a pioneer anymore'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0148c7b35ebe970c2011-01-17T12:45:05Z2011-01-17T12:45:05ZYaelihttp://olehgirl.comOk you've re-inspired me.

I started knitting one for one of the soldiers about 4 years ago and at the current pace, it will be ready for his or her grandchild when they are in service. I clearly need to pump up the knitting volume and get it finished and sent! </p>
