Thank you Lisa ,,, i admire her Pioneer work in designibg clothes that were wearable, took into consideration many factors that other designers before her didn`t think about ,,, But Mostly i remember how she Made Knitted sweaters Acceptable to ALL groups of society.... If you look at That sweater which she knitted to look like "Sailor`s ` clothes , You can see her genius. It still looks ok to wear now ..... mirjam

.Everything hapens for a reason and I'm quite confident that if the book itself didn't call to you, the Universe DID! Hugs, Noreen
That happens sometimes. No joke, sometimes I feel a very strong urge to go into the second-hand shop and when I do, there's something I really want. Then I still have to decide whether I need it, but at least I have the chance.
