On January 15th this year my daughter-in-law Stephanie’s father died in a pedestrian/car accident.
In the week following the accident I struggled to find something I could do that would make some kind of difference.I thought about a knitting project I had worked on before Christmas, making toques for family and friends out of reflective yarn and then I had an idea that might bring some light to myself, Marks family and our communities. I had leftover yarn so why not make small arm bands that people could wear over coats and sweaters. These arm bands would give much needed visibility to those on the roads at night. I posted the project on my Facebook page and immediately received a huge number of reactions, comments and shares. We now have a website at http://bemarked.ca where we are sharing the story, the pattern, and other information. The response to our project has given myself and Marks family something positive to think about and is spreading light around the country.
