I took a knitting class a couple of weeks ago and have finished a pillow top for Gary's mother Gwen. It was great fun and no sweat because it didn't have to FIT anything.
Here's a picture with the material I've chosen for the back and a ruffle all around. I think I'll embroider her name across the front. She's in a nursing home now and I thought a pillow for her bed might be something I could give her for Christmas. Especially as it might not get "lost" because her name will be on it.
She really has no short term memory any more, but she's maintained her personality, which is gracious, funny, sweet, and all the things you would hope. She thinks she likes "this big place."
