Pay It Forward


Michelle (Knitncook) from Knitting Help posted about the Pay it Forward Exchange for knitters. It's truly a cool concept. It feels a bit like a chain letter, but I'm hoping that people really do "pay it forward." It is a wonderful way to spread some happiness and see if others can do the same, just for the reward of doing something nice for someone else. Michelle has allowed me to pass it on, so join the fun and giving.

Pay It Forward is based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on. You all know I’m already a PIF type of person. So here’s how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift (example: knitted item quilted item, anything homemade, candles, etc.) to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I do not know what that gift will be yet, and it won’t be sent this month, probably not next month, but it will be sent (within 6 months) and that’s a promise! What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.So post a reply if you want in and then go post a similar message on your blog! PAY IT FORWARD!



So if you want to join the fun, please leave a comment stating so and include an email address that I can contact you at, or PM me on KH or BC, and it will begin, remember the first three to post a comment get something special sent to them.

Hi, my name is Marilynn, I live in Wisconsin. Thank you for checking out my Blog, I hope it can only get better day by day.

I don't know much about them. But I guess this is a good way to learn. Now that I have a Blog started, I can hopefully join the Pay It Forward on the KH Forum. I will see if I can find someone to pass it on to me and then offer it to others. The opportunity to Pay it Forward is great, just a little nicest to someone else for no reason, is something we can all use.
