also knitted sweaters. When I started it, the pattern was very simple, like a T-shirt.” Over the years, Maplethorpe and others who participated in the project made suggestions to lengthen the sleeves and add ribbing to the bottom of the sleeve and body. This allows the sweater to hug the body and keep the child warm. “Everyone uses the same pattern,” Maplethorpe explained. “But we can make each different in color and use different stitches.” Sally Todd knits hats for Open Arms Mission in Antioch. She has 75 hats ready to go this year and has knitted more than 500 over the years. Another knitter, Ruth Beemis, knits hats for Providing Advocacy, Dignity and Shelter for the homeless. While each woman might have a particular mission, they all contribute their handiwork – including hats, scarves, mittens and afghans for area nursing homes, PADS and Open Arms, and baby afghans for the newly baptized babies. During the recent group gathering Shelby Wais was busy creating a prayer shawl. In 2009, Northern Illinois University asked for prayer

All aboard the North Pole Express JUDE KAIDER Illinois Hi-Liter
It’s a high fives for everybody as conductor Cindy Zinaveah (above) gives Lance, 7, Olivya, 9, and Alyssa Martin, 4, of Antioch a quick lesson in how to keep the trains running on time as ticket sales began for this year’s North Pole Express at the Antioch Parks and Recreation office Oct. 16. The event has been a sellout every year. Children, dressed in their pajamas, meet at the Antioch Metra train station and take a ride to the North Pole (aka, the Buffalo Grove Metra station) where they’ll be entertained – Including getting a cup of hot chocolate – until Santa Claus, arrives to speak to each child. The North Pole Express has been expanded to 11 days in December this year. To purchase tickets, residents can visit the Parks & Recreation office during business hours. Proof of residency is required. At right: Parks and Recreation staff members Mary Quilty (from left) Bernadette Rowe, and Toni Galster hand over the first tickets for this year’s North Pole Express to a happy Penny Novy of Antioch.
Shakespeare tells us that it is “sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care,” but the women of the Antioch Area Health Care Accessibility Alliance knit and crochet group will tell you that their handiwork wraps up others in their warm love. Five of the regulars were on hand Oct. 13 at the Antioch United Methodist Church to knit and crochet together. They meet the second Monday of the month from 1 to 3 p.m. While they are all members of either the United Methodist, St. Ignatius Episcopal or St. Stephen Lutheran Churches, there is room for anyone to join them. These experienced knitters and crocheters work on their own projects and are willing to teach others or help them figure out where things went wrong. They also work together on special projects for people and causes near and dear to their hearts. Since she retired from teaching Spanish at Antioch High School 25 years ago, Carol Maplethorpe has knit over 200 sweaters for the World Vision Knit for kids project. “I saw an ad for this in Guideposts and wrote in to get the pattern,” she said. “Friends and relatives have
