(you start with scarves and work your way in. Knitting him a bathing dress is acceptable only if you are engaged, or possibly amounts to becoming engaged, as I recall.)<br /><br />Did Mr Lemon have anything to say on the subject of knitting?<br /><br />Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234975039675044712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-13865830365965630572016-10-10T14:54:43.650+01:002016-10-10T14:54:43.650+01:00What a find!
