    About

    In 2010 my mom passed away. I used her needles, etc. to do this project. Last August I lost my dad. I started this shawl to help take my mind off the profound sadness I was feeling. In using my mom's supplies, it felt like she was there helping me through the grief. I remembered her teaching me how to knit when I was young, which led to all kinds of memories with both her and my dad. Those memories were bittersweet with the grief from my dad's passing being so recent and stinging.
    The pattern was complex enough to hold my undivided attention, so knitting it offered respite from the tears. I'm still feeling quite a bit of sadness, so I pick up my needles and knit whenever things get rough. It helps to clear my mind and I feel comforted by the thought that my mom, and maybe Dad too, are here next to me as I knit my worries away.
