My Aunt Judy

When my parents were getting divorced, I went to live with my Aunt Judy.  She introduced me to the world of knitting and the artistry of fiber.  I will never forget that she bought me needles and yarn - tirelessly answered my questions and checked my work. 

One day - a beautiful yarn bag and needle case appeared on my bed.  She had made the bag out of green fabric with a bleach bottle bottom attached. Little did she know that it would become a life long link to her... I think this is the original pattern.

As a side note... it was there at her house that I learned that the original "Star Trek" had been cancelled and cried my eyes out while watching the last episode...I know TMI....
