Ha, Ha - that's a good one. Also a good thing you didn't miss spell any thing - hee, hee, hee. You might have knited it, but it shows you to be a QUILTER at heart. We do know how to make things work, and make some thing out of as little as a name, fav. color, etc..... You did good and I am sure your grandmother loved it.

OUTSTANDING! LOL Now if we could just figure out what to put on their dentures!!!! I worked at a nursing home, in the alzheimer's/stroke ward ---- the dentures kept getting moved around!!!!!

Such a clever idea! I love knitting words into to my creations.

thanks, all for your kind comments. i love the dentures post - maybe the makers of dentures could take a hint and 'tattoo' the name on them where not seen when worn

That was a brillant idea.

Your grandmother's knitted blanket reminds me of the bank robber running out with the cash when the red smoke bomb goes off. Try running away that blanket! Or maybe we could start putting the chips like they put in dogs and cats to locate them when they get lost (or stolen.)
