About comfortafghans...

sounds wonderful Pirjo, lovely to know that so many can get together to make something that inspires and lifts another soul.

I didn't have a comfortghan, I had a large tote bag, which was carefully made, and then a lining carefully made for it, and a handle and now everytime I need a ball of wool I go to it, as this houses my odd balls and leftovers and hangs on the door in my workroom. So I know exactly what you mean..

I think many of us do.

Hi Cher! I understand, even I do not have that kind of bag. That feeling...it is simply something you can not describe. But once it hits you, you certainly know the feeling. Best: Pirjo

Yes you are quite right you certainly do Pirjo

Hi! Nice to know that someone gets the point, even my English is messy - but usually I try to write as clearly as I can. Best: Pirjo

I understood you Pirjo:) I know because I get the same feeling about my precious comfortghan:))

And me too (and Matthew, although he won't say anything... it's a "guy thing") with the comfortghans we got from everyone on RCTY! You really can feel the love and care as you wrap yourself in them. :o)

Don and I as well, were lucky recipients of comfortaghans, and we use them a LOT! And.. Christmas 04 would not have BEEN had it not been for this wonderful group of family. Hugs, Noreen

Hi everyone! What a lovely thing to know! I mean this common "someone out there cares" - feeling. As I told before, I was confused at first (you certainly know how to keep a secret, dear RCTYers!), but once the situation was clear to me, I expressed you my thankfulness. I know that usually comfortaghan receivers have been so very happy. I must admit I was not one of them at first. My first reaction was: "To me? Why? There must be a reason for this." I did not tell it though...I just told you I was glad. And I *was* glad, even I could not show it right away back then.

Now I have used this particular afghan many times already, and using it has revealed me the love you all have knitted and crocheted into it. At first the surprise...it caught me off-guard. But after I had studied the afghan and realized what was the connection between you all, me and my health...After that I let the joy take its proper place in my heart. I know...this may be a bit strange reaction...but today I definitely know that the aghan in question has very big part in my life. And it belongs to my couch wherever I live. You can be sure of that.

your English isn't too bad at all Pirjo, at least I don't find any problem with it, if I do I'll ask what you mean, simple as that

Hi Pirjo, I was confused when I opened mine too, it was a shock when I found out.

Hi! I understand the situation. And the fact that Cher and all others get my point when I write in English...I am simply glad of it. And that afghan...it is like my life. How? Well, there are dark squares and light squares, just like there are dark moments and lighter moments in life. At least my afghan...it is a bit like my life. I mean...the colors. I can not explain this but I know in my heart you understand. Best: Pirjo

Hi Pirjo,

I tried to post to this note yesterday, but couldn't but I never have any problem knowing what you are saying, your English is very good, better then mine sometimes.

Hugs,

Hi Auntie Nora! You simply are so kind person and I owe you one huge thanks for your kind words. Best: Pirjo

what a wonderful way of looking at it, well when you have darker moods you can put the afghan so that mostly the lighter ones show, and cheer yourself up lol
