You know the time and effort that goes into them, and that makes them priceless. <br /><br />I don't have knitting memories with my mom--she's not a knitter---but I do recall her trying to teach me how to crochet. She went so fast I couldn't see what she was doing. :) It was fun though. She's taught me many things and y'all make me more mindful to thank her while she's still with me.

My mom was 93 when I lost her this year and Mary is right. I wonder if I thanked her enough.

She would watch me as I sewed and tell me I was doing everything right but the machine wouldn't work right for me. She'd sit down and zip right through it. Later, she bought me a Viking and I loved it! When it was stolen from my apartment, I missed it more for the fact Mom bought it for me than for losing a good machine.<br />No matter how old our moms are when we lose them, we always wonder if we thanked them enough. They are special ladies!Mary L.

Can you imagine how proud she was when you knitted your snowmen? <br /><br />My mother and I don't have any knitting memories or sewing memories for that matter, but I am blessed to still have her with me and we have wonderful memories between the two of us and we are still making them day by day. <br /><br />Thank you for your beautiful post. <br /><br />mauback55 at gmail dot comMelanie Backushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727406782355039525noreply@blogger.com
