]]> Comment on Sukkot Meets “Knit Out 2007″: growing the harvest basket and the tikkunknitting community by Shannon http://tikkunknits.wordpress.com/2007/09/18/sukkot-meets-knit-out-2007-growing-the-harvest-basket-and-the-community-of-makers/#comment-316 Shannon Sun, 04 Oct 2009 16:42:43 +0000 http://tikkunknits.wordpress.com/2007/09/18/sukkot-meets-knit-out-2007-growing-the-harvest-basket-and-the-community-of-makers/#comment-316 I would love to see the pattern for the bunch of grapes using bobbles. I have a baby shower w/ an autumn theme, and I'm making by sister-in-law a diaper cake w/ a cornucopia theme. I want to top it w/ fruit hats. I've already made an apple (you can see my daughter wearing it in one of my recent blog entries) and I've made the apple hat from Crazy Aunt Purl's blot (but modified it to have a 2x2 rib instead of a 4x4 at the bottom). I'd like to have a 3rd fruit to help top the cake. Since they are having a little boy, berries are out. I've navigated a little on your site, and I find I' keep running in circles (of course, I only had one cup of coffee today). Thanks in advance for your help!

He wants the Muslim countries to take over Jerusalem, and Kick the Jews out. Hey friend I love your blog, but I wonder why you like Obama so much?

When I read the inspiration for this it lead me to your blog. How surprized I was to find, erev Pesach, such a beautiful articulation of my own pain over Israel's use of white phosphorous and her increasing lean to the right. I will be reading your blog from now on and may even make a 'thinking cap' of my own. <em>I'm glad you've found your way here, Wendy, and that this project reflects your vision of justice as well.

Thanks so much for this lovely idea. :-) Just wondering, where do the chopsticks come in for the recipe? I see you say you can "knit" the bread, but I've never done this. Is that what they're for? If so, is this easily: done? Thanks again! Alexandra <em>I'm so glad that this project speaks to you, Alexandra. Yes, the "chef-sized" chopsticks serve as knitting needles here.
