Dearest KnitWits for Madiba,
Together we made history yesterday!! We BEAT the GUINNESS WORLD RECORD. We were on every single television and radio station. We were mentioned on SKY NEWS!!! In actual fact we had BLANKET COVERAGE!!! We did this TOGETHER!! We united as a nation and came together to show our African brothers and sisters that we can hold hands, that we can unite through bright colourful thread. We are showing the entire WORLD that we in South Africa love nothing more than a challenge. We rallied, we sweated, we stressed, we got blisters, we stayed up long hours so we could reach our goal of 21 000 blankets to spread across the vast lawns of the UNION BUILDINGS around the giant statue of our beloved Nelson Mandela who was definitely smiling down on us yesterday.
With love to you all, Carolyn Steyn
