How crazy is that? There is definitely a seat in Heaven for the person responsible for that!!!!! It makes me feel close to my ancestors in a way. Don't get me wrong.....If my great- great.......grandmother had had a cell phone or I-Pod, she DEFINITELY would have made protective covers for them.
SO......What are you?

The Purest! The Purest! Yes I am! I knit for the wool! I knit for the feel of fine wooden needles,. I knit for the pattern, the history...the sense of tradition. I knit knowing that it is the most common thread that holds so many of us together. The yarn and needle...from Ireland to Chile the simple act of knitting has become blended with the fine artestry of hancraft. Want to feel closer to your greatgrandmother? Pick up a pair of 1's and fine wool and cast onn! Now that's living history!!! Knit on Sisters!!!! A.
