I know I inherited my love of craft from my paternal grandmother, although I have no memories of her.  She died when I was around 5 or 6 years old.  My older cousins tell the story of sitting in front of her rocking chair in a semi-circle with their legs folded beneath them and watching her crochet.  What fascinated them most was the fact that she would be rocking and crocheting at the same time, while sound asleep and snoring!  To the best of my knowledge none of my cousins share my passion for yarn and knitting. 

The craft has played a major role in my life and while I’ve received many honors in my life, being the spokesperson for Knit for Kids, a division of World Vision, ranks as one of the highest.
