I recently went on a much-needed vacation with my partner and family. While on Tybee Island we visited a local lighthouse and saw the incredible innovation that allowed a small light to project almost 20 miles into the open Atlantic. The Fresnel lens, within, bends light with bands of similarly-angled but slowly shifting glass surfaces, refracting a dim bulb into a beam strong enough to guide weary travelers home.

You can contact Sacha for more information or drop off your donation cowls at Knit 1 Chicago (@knit1chgo, http://www.knit1chgo.com) before November 28th, 2021.
