I have some things my Mum knit and sewed for me, which I will never part with. She taught me to knit, too.<br /><br />And kudos to you for still fitting into that sweater!Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-82596484089513313242014-02-23T06:24:23.228-07:002014-02-23T06:24:23.228-07:00I cannot knit.
