I was knitting something recently & couldn't remember how to do a certain stitch so called my Mom. Unfortunately she couldn't remember how to do it either. We both laughed. So I went online & found something that at least gave me an idea of how to do it. Not sure I actually did it right, but it looks okay.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753773086042054845.post-24066382566418518272016-01-24T12:15:25.964-08:002016-01-24T12:15:25.964-08:00Congratulations on your granddaughter.
