I thought of leaving it misspelled to mark my amateur status in the knitting world but then decided it didn't look good for me as a writer :)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05047028911806278732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387400283135428674.post-77570686814054620742010-08-28T11:17:45.668-04:002010-08-28T11:17:45.668-04:00Robin, we are soul mates!

I can see the white snowflakes on blue - what a memory you have!
