Yarn Alive
In this video, Wall Street Journal's Yumiko Ono reports from Shichigahama that, a year after the 2011 tsunami destroyed their homes and community, a group of elderly Japanese women who live in cramped, prefabricated homes hastily constructed by the government have found some solace and relief from their worries and privations in a knitting and crocheting group called Yarn Alive.

This is the 4th or 5th knitting related story I have seen from the WSJ. Who knew they would cover knitting!
ReplyDeleteI love this story and now will need to research how to donate money or yarn and tools to the group. Thanks
This might mean that the WSJ has a knitter on staff who's coming up with the story concepts. BuzzFeed does quite a few knitting-related posts and I've noticed they always seem to have been written by the same contributer, associate editor Alanna Okun, who is herself a knitter.
