She does not have a computer and does not plan on ever having one - and she lives more than 3 hours from me. When she and dad come for Easter they will catch up with my blog. Anyway, my mother is touched, truly. <br /><br />Karen A.Karen Andreolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135239838790568639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-11941119769848097432012-03-24T07:27:26.251-04:002012-03-24T07:27:26.251-04:00What a lovely post, Karen!

We found a whole box of well-worn wool socks that my great-grandmother had knit for her sons. I think about them working in the woods (they owned a logging company) and being kept warm by the wool socks that their mother knit for them. <br /><br />I imagine you enjoyed watching your grandson crawling around. My youngest finally decided to crawl this week. (He is 11 months old.) We've all been having great fun watching him explore everything!Teishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655844015779830955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-23781436163356622052012-03-17T10:32:11.276-04:002012-03-17T10:32:11.276-04:00Karen,

I saw your name and recognized it....went to your blogger profile and was tickled to realize you were who I thought you might be! I have read your books and poured over them time and time again. Thank you for all the support that they have been. What a thrill to find you through blogging. Enjoy the time with your family.

My knitting "expertise" goes as far as the dishcloths we use, like the ones your daughter made. Our daughter took the basic lessons I gave her and went on to become a talented expert. Even in our imperfections, we can pass on what we know.

I can't help but hope that the children of the woman in the hospital might have been moved by the gifts she left behind and had a change of attitude.<br /><br />We were just chatting with an older lady at church last week, who learned to knit in school making "blankets for Britain".<br /><br />Enjoy your weekend visit!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589995974334468664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8612255949290013608.post-55504614685389104812012-03-13T15:17:04.449-04:002012-03-13T15:17:04.449-04:00Zo mooi, ik hou van je blog.
