fuzzy fluffy cuff

not a good quality picture, but it manages to convey the joy that is giving and recieving needlecrafts. kate taught herself to crochet from library books when she was twelve so that she could make a baby blanket for my aidan. she took that upon herself because their nana passed away while i was pregnant and she worried that the baby would not get his due blanket. as it turns out, desmond is the one who bonded with the blanket. now, at 16, kate was the kind soul who traveled out west with myself and the boys this summer as mother's helper. she is deserving of a lot more than fluffy cuff mittens. yay for dependable and upstanding young people making our families strong!
