Everything about the trip went well. I was worried for a moment. Well, a long moment. But the women were amazing talented knitters. I was very happy that they are starting their own projects that will fit the need of their community. They are on their way!
Amani Ya Juu took a look at the tote bag product and are letting us know by May whether they'll pick it for their line. The Mathare knitters will be payed for the piece work and Amani will handle the marketing! Sweet! We found a Kenyan fiber source for shillings that is already being processed and dyed by a thriving spinning co-op.
-going back in July for a full two weeks to teach. Everyone involved are all so grateful for the open doors.
