  13. I have just finished this blanket in pink for a War Bride who is turning 99 years young in 2 days. While knitting the blanket I learned that she wed in a small church in Kensington, so this will have a significant memory for a wonderful lady.

  14. I have just finished this beautiful pattern in pink for a 99 year young War Bride. While knitting this as a prayer shawl I discovered that she was wed in a small church in Kensington, so this will have significant memories for her. Thank you for your many patterns which I have made, mostly as prayer shawls and baby hats for premies.
