I cannot do without friends like this

This is a 90 year old lady from Shanghai. She grew her own vegetables and sold them at market every day most of her life. She also knit most of her life. The last winter in China was a little bit too much for her, she got ill and after missing 4 days at the market, she died. These are the women on whose shoulders we stand. The ones who taught us patiently, lovingly and asked for nothing in return. This is why I knit. I am sure I have carried it with me through many lifetimes and I am so happy I know how to.

Today Andrea spend almost the whole day with me setting up this wonderful blog. How fortunate to have such a wonderful friend and one who knows exactly what I want. Thank you Andrea - you are special.
