Aloha again

I am back from Hawaii, and I am thrilled to say my grandmother loves her shawl.



She kept stroking it and admiring it, saying how soft and lovely it is. I told her how I think of her every time I see that color and she said "Yes! It is so me!" It suits her wonderfully, and she kept saying she feels so elegant in it.

She wore it often while we were there, and she had it on her bed or draped over her chair when she didn't. Whenever she had it on, she told me how perfect it was, and she showed it off to family and friends. My aunt washed it once, and I was relieved to see it held up perfectly - the lace didn't even need to be reshaped.

It is incredibly gratifying to see how visibly happy someone is in a hand-knit. I'm definitely inspired to make more gifts, and I hope every recipient is as pleased as my gram.
