CAT's very personal story of what happened to her on 9/11 was originally posted four years ago at the end of episode fifteen Twisted Stitches. We decided to re-edit the piece and upload it on its own in honor of the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attack.

What am I wearing:
Colinette Shimmer 5 coat in marble colorway from the Shimmer 5 Pattern book

What's on the set:
Cable sweater from Knitters Magazine Issue 64 Fall 2001

I was moved by this video when it first aired and thank you so much for replaying it. It spoke to me then, and still does. All the best to you & your hubby for providing us with your insights and instruction. I wish you success in all you do.

This has echoes of the ancient folk practice of knitting "spells"/"prayers" into work. - There was a really good blog post about it by the museum of witchcraft, Boscastle a while back.

When it occurred and never would have realized the gravity of it. From how it would affect me to having to deal with my dad being overseas for our country and me having to fight people at home who believed that my dad's work was a waste and that him protecting his country was for naught.
