Well, then the time will come and Lucinda takes the yarn
Barbara sent. Lucinda begins to knit and thinks the receiver
of the product. And while knitting she remembers how she got
the yarn. She feels like Barbara would be with her. And that
the project she knits is not completely hers. It belongs to
Barbara too.



YEs, I';ve felt like that, right from my first project. My first project
was a scarf for my teddy bear. Before I could finish it, my great
grandmother died, and as her belongings were sorted out, I was given a
piece of knitting she had done which noone quite knew what it was meant
for. It became part of the scarf for my bear, and I have always treasured
that as being extra special, because it was both from my granny and the
first thing I made myself.

(Another thing I have from my granny is a bag, which she crocheted from
cut up strips of tights/pantyhose, and lined with corduroy. It has knitted
handles. Very simple, but very clever.)
