Friend missing in Haiti

My old friend, Blaise, who was a good sport and modeled some of my knitting themed t-shirts about a year ago, has been living in Haiti with his wife during the past year. Those familiar with Portland may recognize this spot with the blue wall as Rocco’s Pizza. As recently as last Monday, Blaise and I had been in contact via Facebook but since the earthquake, there has been no news. I’m hoping and praying that he and his wife are safe.

After the photo session, we went for coffee. These photos are making me homesick for Portland.

No, Blaise doesn’t actually knit. But like I said, he’s a good sport.

(PS: If you are able to donate to the rescue effort, I urge you to give what you can. Donating to UNICEF via Google is quick, easy and painless.)
