Like some others, I was referred to it via Yarnival. It's a beautiful tribute to your grandmother and to the act of knitting. Thank you, Ruth, for a very lovely post.

My grandma passed away almost 13 years ago and it still feels like yesterday. She's the one who taught me to knit oh so long ago. When I was home for her funeral, I picked up needles and yarn and knit my first pair of mittens, after an extended knitting hiatus. It made me feel so close to her...not a day goes back that I don't see my yarn and think of Mama. Thank you for your wonderful words. What an amazing tribute to an amazing woman!

I am sorry about the loss of your grandmother. This is a beautiful post. I've often tried to describe what knitting for loved ones means. You've described it perfectly - an offering of time and love. That is how I'll think of gift knitting from now on. I found you on Yarnival. I am sorry about the loss of your grandmother. This is a beautiful post.

I'm so sorry that you lost your grandmother and I share your thoughts about a gift of knitting is a gift of time and love. I'm glad you have some of the things that your grandmother knit. I also had a grandmother who knit and taught me how as a grade schooler but knitting didn't really become my hobby until several years after she passed away. I do have some of her notions which I enjoy using such as row counters and a cable needle. Those things are my 'knitting connection' with her. I lost my father to Alzheimer's Disease almost two months ago. It is a disease that is very difficult for family members. Like one of your other commenters I now think of my dad as all put back together in heaven. Again, my sympathies in regard to your loss. I also got here through Yarnival.
