She knitted amazing things (including a jumper with a two-headed panda when she lost a bit of the pattern and didn't want to ad-lib a panda's bottom!) and now I have what is left of her knitting needles which somehow survived in my parents' house for 40 years after her death. I hope I can eventually knit something decent with them! margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727534908302610374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-17775642689836536662013-09-06T12:14:53.492-04:002013-09-06T12:14:53.492-04:00Very well said, Elizabeth!

It was one of my great grandmother at the age of 40, knitting. A woman I never knew. Connecting to her, knowing that at the same age we were doing the same thing..it was so touching. Finding our connection to the past within our families and within our Church is so very meaningful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-85153430613452012752013-09-05T07:38:12.254-04:002013-09-05T07:38:12.254-04:00I'm so glad you wrote this, as it's a remi...I'm so glad you wrote this, as it's a reminder to me to ask my parents for their stories. ♥ I have a hard time hearing my father, so it's a struggle, but we have to try.
