Like  most knitters, when my sister Jeannine and I travel, we always carry extra yarn, just in case.  Here is Jeannine with her Masai guides in Tanzania, donning their hand-knit beanies, made on the spot by my sister.  What a great way to connect with people!

And here is the fierce South African weenie dog, Sizzles, in his new hand-knit sweater.
