As part of my exploration of the Passover Seder and ways in which I could create a personal connection to the ritual meal and my own Judaism, I knit a round seder plate during 2010. I submitted this to Diana Drew for inclusion in Jewish Threads in September, 2010.
I am very honored that Diana chose to include the Knit Seder Plate in her book, and I am excited to see the many other projects featured.
