Song for Steve……
So, the time has come.
Some thought they would never live to see it, but it has arrived….
But first a bit of background. I started knitting as a result of p/hop and particular because of Natalie. One day a guy called Steve saw this blog and really liked the project. Steve is a physician so MSF is close to his heart anyway, but more importantly Steve is a knitter. In a fit of outrageous generosity (which I’m sure he now regrets), Steve offered a donation of $500 if I could knit anything! Now, I’ll do pretty much anything for $500 and so started my Arsenal scarf.
The challenge was that Steve would pay once I could get the scarf all the way round my neck. On holiday in Ghana that happened. So, myself, Anna, Zak and Janet (the guys I was staying with) made a song for Steve.
So here are MSF-Pete and the Ghana Hillbillies. Hope you like it Steve……….
Big thanks goes out to our very talented backing dancers: Bismarc, Roxine and their mate whose name escapes me….
Also, at one point, excuse my French – heat of the moment stuff!

I’ll donate $500 when you knit your first sock. I’m an HIV programming coordinator in DR Congo.

Pete,
Congratulations on your fine knitting project – and for a good cause!
Too hilarious about Steve. This is completely in “character” for him…
