I still haven't progressed past the basics but make my husband a different colour scarf each year. I love the precious things in your photos - the patchwork quilts are beautiful.

Funny how we view things differently as we get older - to have those skills in difficult economic times is brilliant. At the time it was not so much fun for us in our 'different' dresses.Christmas Pie Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15535917693583199463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423082959141413481.post-43902768793365432492012-02-29T13:48:58.802+00:002012-02-29T13:48:58.802+00:00Thanks for joining in the carnival.

Mine spikes her hair and goes to pop concerts. She does NOT knit.

First of all I could have written the piece about school uniform, mine was all home made by my Mum and I hated looking different too. <br />But like you I appreciate all the skills that my Mum, and grandmother, passed on and I am glad that my daughters are taking them up too. In a way it is the legacy you leave behind you.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09900595723815223322noreply@blogger.com
