The Power of Knitting
















A 98-year-old woman who survived the L’Aquila earthquake in Italy managed to stay alive in the rubble by knitting.  Maria D’Antuono told rescue workers she spent the 30 hours she was trapped knitting to keep herself busy. Ms D’Antuono was buried under her bed when her stone home collapsed during the quake in the village of Tempera. But she was determined to stay alive and told reporters she spent the hours knitting. (From the UK Sunday Express)

Good thing she kept her knitting by the bed. Let that be a lesson to us all! :)
