This world is divided into the givers and the takers. Often knitters/crafters by their nature are natural givers who want to share and make life more enjoyable for their friends and family. Lin's gift is a great example of this.Mr Puffy's Knitting Blog:http://www.blogger.com/profile/10129149473915655930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569646987208104674.post-15825484050252673822008-12-18T10:31:00.000-07:002008-12-18T10:31:00.000-07:00And don't you often find that some of the best gifts you receive are those that weren't on "your list"?
