I just went to the Heaven and Earth site to see what designs you may be
talking about, and there is a notice there that her husband passed away
yesterday.

I have this really strange (or so I'm told) way of knitting - I tuck the
needle under my arm. The right needle. In fact, now I come to think of
it, it may be both, but I'd have to knit something to be sure. This
means I need really long needles in order to be comfortable. I've been
complimented many times on the neatness of my knitting, and it may be
this habit that makes it so even. I also have to use one size larger
than the needles recommended in any pattern, as I kit quite tightly -
again, probably because of this habit of mine.

It isn't that strange, it is the way I was taught to knit, as a girl in
the north of England. Everyone there used to knit that way. Although,
I tend to be a more loose knitter and usually have to use needles two
sizes smaller than the pattern recommends. When I started using circular
needles, I found I can only use them by knitting Continental fashion,
with the wool held in my left hand.

I had sent DD a link to several things I liked at Nordic Needle and
she got me almost ALL of them!!! The best is a purple bead and silver
Kitty scissor fob and matching counting pin :-). There were also
several leather sleeves for the ends of scissors and also some of the
plastic point protectors I can use when I make my own beaded
"do-hickeys" as gifts for my friends. Ciao Meow ^;;^

Yikes, thanks for sharing the sad news. They were always nice to deal with.
