She has told a few on your podcast and I just love her storytelling style. I found her story very touching. A close second was the $14,000 sweater. I laughed so hard at the end of the podcast, I never saw the punch line coming on that one!

It was obvious Luna put her 'baby' somewhere safe and would have moved the other if she had time.<br /><br />The other was of the young woman who connected to her grandmother after death. It is funny how knitting/crafting will build wonderful cross generational bridges.

It's amazing how knitting is a generational craft- one enjoyed or passed on from one generation to the next. I know my own grandmother felt a special connection to me when I learned to knit as a child. I was just too young to realize how important that connection was. I have been fortunate enough to teach several young people how to knit, including my own daughter, a niece, several members of a high school football team and my neighbor's girls. Some of these young people found a connection to their grandparents through this information. Since I no longer have my grandparents, I realize how vital these conversations are and how the young people will cherish them later in life.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898882355682273684noreply@blogger.com
