Lovely. I can&#8217;t think of a nicer way to spend the afternoon and rest my leg at the same time. Although it has to be said that Mel and I didn&#8217;t actually do any knitting &#8211; but we did discuss knitting at length, ooh and aah over current projects and Mel was kind enough to decipher my unintelligible German pattern (in the twinkling of an eye I should add &#8211; clever girl!).<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/13.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3115\" title=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/13.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.runquiltknitwrite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/13-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also discovered that one front of my cardigan is, ooh, a good inch shorter than it should be.

She&#8217;s made some absolutely adorable baby shoes for her new granddaughter Mireille.<\/p>\n<p>Mel and I actually met because she read my blog and we discovered that we only live about an hour or so apart. Our paths would probably never have crossed otherwise. It has been so nice to discover someone else here who shares my woolly fixations and doesn&#8217;t think I&#8217;m bonkers. She may be the only one, mind you!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for the hyacinths Mel.
