MY BLOG

My Dad was elementary school age during WWI and in the patriotic fever that swept the entire country, all the kids in his school were taught to knit for the soldiers. The teacher would cast on.....the kids would knit, knit, knit.....the teacher would bind off. (He must have been part of the scarf-making brigade.) My Dad's knitting skills were limited, but this certainly didn't deter him, when he loaded me in the family Buick and took me to pick out some yarn and needles.
