My sister-in-law Diane gave me the book "My Knitted Doll" for this past Christmas. The book came with a request for a "Jane" doll. Last Friday, our 58 year old brother-in-law suffered a brain hemorrhage. My husband flew to Atlanta to offer support but I stayed home due to work committments. I spent the week pouring my anxiety into my knitting. What better time to knit Jane. It's amazing how much one can accomplish while getting rid of stress!
