Dear Jan, Read a bit your "comments". Out of one of those I read the stage 4. I really wish you strength, lots of health, belief and faith. Thank you for liking "my first hat". Warm regards, xx Anneke

We had a Thanksgiving dinner here one day early to accomodate family.  One guest brought me a very nice bag with a handle.  She had crocheted it out of plastic grocery bags, it looks amazing!

I'm back in Houston after a week of visiting my 94 yr old aunt in Madison, Wisconsin.  She makes beautiful hats on a plastic loom and gives them to her church for distribution.  She and I knit away for the week.  We even went to…

We're back in Houston from a great trip to Roatan - an island off the coast of Honduras.  I made 9 squares and 8 scuba dives. I achieved the #1 item on my bucket list - I made my 600th dive while there.  Not too bad for a 75 year…

Donna, How is the chain stitch square coming now that we corrected all of my mistakes with the pattern?  I really do apologize for that.  Learning a new pattern can be frustrating enough, but when the pattern has mistakes it's really…

I agree with you - knitting is so much easuer to do than to write down. And well done Donna for spotting the 'deliberate' mistakes and making a square anyway, Now you can have some fun and use the pattern in different ways, eg…

I did find the option to change the pattern.  From now on I should probably "tend to my knitting."  Or at least I'll have to thoroughly proof-read any other postings.

Jan I am so sorry to hear about the cancer.  You sound like a very brave lady, I just cannot imagine what you are going through.

It's good to know you have family close by (well I seem to be making a big assumption here).  I have two grandson's Josh is 3 and his brother J.J. is almost 2.  They are staying with us at the weekend so I am trying to line up plenty of activities for them.

If you have no objection could I include you in my prayers?

Hope to speak again with you soon.

Love, Barbara X

After seeing your heart squares I decided to look at your other photos.  The elephants are great and the blanket is wonderful.  Your work is truly inspirational.

Does the little one in your photo help you?

Happy Knitting

Just saw your elephant blanket go by in the slideshow. I can't remember whether I complimented you on it, but it never hurts to say it again......What a beautiful blanket !! Whoever receives this is going to feel so special.
