Can something silly also be something fantastic and lifegiving to the world? The answer is there in the enjoyment and the giggles of the Ladies of Sandoy Island in the Faroe Islands! They tell us more about why, on a small island in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, they decided to cover a huge rock with a knitted blanket. Life doesn't always have to be serious. Sometimes making time to spend with friends, having a laugh, and doing something silly, is just what we need in these crazy times.

    A perfect example of how being present and collaborating creates community. Fiber arts people are a special breed who remember and practice this very foundation of our humanity. Brava, Sandoy women!

    Amazing, really inspiring. Women keep confirming there is always another way to live our lives, to gather, apparently with no "useful" goal but that of sharing some time together, which in the end this turns out to be transforming and inspiring for everyone. Keep it going, ladies, a toast to you all! Thanks!

    I loved this community effort. I cannot quite imagine what's involved in taking off the rock knitting, and cleaning it before repairing it -- that is quite a commitment for just fun. But of course, it's really about the community, and about the levity, and about the love that is infused into that knitting effort. What a wonderful, quirky, expressive love note to yourselves, your visitors, and now to the world through this video. Bless you all 🙏🏻❤️
