That's so sweet to have a knitting tradition in the family. Mine only goes back one generation so far... I have great plans for both the kiddos!

I found these instructions after listening to your podcast.

Not sure if you would find these useful:

How sweet! It's wonderful that you had knitting in the family and that she was so generous with her knowledge.

How very cool of your Aunt! And you are so lucky - if my aunt sent me yarn it would be 100% acrylic ;o)

I love that photo of your Aunt's knitted dress. What a wonderful legacy. My g'mom taught me to knit and it's a nice way to feel connected to her.

I was given some vintage knitting magazines at Christmas (with a "there's more where those came from" hint) by a friend of the family -- I almost know just how you feel! What a great great aunt!

wow, this touched me so much; i had the same moment with my aunt about 10 years ago; she showed me all her old books and which items in them she had made. it started me collecting vintage patterns.

the picture of your aunt is gorguous; how happy she looks!

your tribute to her is so heartfelt, it reached out to me too.

kniton!
