Her particular specialty was socks. especially for the surgeons and other hospital staff who spend long hours in theatre. When she died there was a big multi-denominational service in the cathedral - and people were asked to wear the socks she had knitted and leave their shoes at the door. It was a wonderful tribute to a wonderful person.catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-50370893417761171022011-10-25T16:49:52.383+01:002011-10-25T16:49:52.383+01:00Tried leaving a comment yesterday, but something g...Tried leaving a comment yesterday, but something glitched.

I was quite sure she would. When you said she was surprised my first thought was "she doesn't read your blog!"<br /><br />I am tempted to get the Brioche guide from Interweave. I will only do so if it works on the iPad.kristieinbchttp://journeynorthof49.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
