This is just something neat that happened at work. My department is in front of the entrance doors, so I see everybody coming and going. A man came in to shop, he is probably in his late 60's. I noticed he was wearing a grey wool vest, worked in an overall moss stitch pattern with garter stitch edgings and button bands. He was a rather tall man, but the vest was amply long and fit him perfectly. I went over and greeted him and admired his vest, someone sure spent some time working on it and did an excellent job.....I asked him if his wife made it for him and he said *no, my 90 year old mother made it, she still makes me all kinds of things*. Well, that made my day. Just goes to show that these knitting and crocheting skills we learned are good for a lifetime of pleasure for ourselves and others! Marie and the cats
