Pamela, Are you out there????

Pamela,

You had a post awhile back about finding your Grandmother's washcloth. I was telling you about how my Great Grandmother used to make knitted slippers for my sister and I. You said that you had a pattern for them if I wanted it. I would love to have it if you have the time to send it. I lost the thread to the posts because I was away and thought this might be the best way to get in touch with you. When I told my sister about it, she got all teary and asked me for a set for her and her kids. I think I would be great to pass the tradition on. It would also be neat to use this group to pass on some other nostalgic knitting patterns so they aren't lost.

Thanks everyone for bearing with me as I make this a public post.

P.S. Today I sent the white baby kimono, booties, and hat (along with a six pack of good old Pennsylvania Dutch Whoopie Pies) to my cousin!!! You should have seen the looks on the UPS Store personnels' faces when I showed them the contents of the package!!

I also have a pattern for my "grandma's slippers" - please feel free to let me know if you would like it.

Pamela, I will keep your TWO fathers in my thoughts and prayers, as well as you. The stress of caring of our parents and our children is a daunting one, I am in a similar situation.
Take care of yourself.
 
Thank you both, I would love to have your patterns when you have the chance to send them. It was just neat remembering how my Great Grandmother used to send us our slippers and how special we felt that they were made just for us. We used to wear them until there were holes in them!

Pamela, your fathers are in my prayers, and I emailed you just don't stress on it, send the pattern when you can. Lord knows I have alot of projects still waiting in the wings!
