Yesterday was Una's funeral - a lovely service in beautiful surroundings. The crematorium had two chapels and she would have got a kick out of watching the people at the other service - lots of motorbikes, crazy outfits and very mixed group of mourners - we were quite a dull group in comparison. As always at these events you get to meet family you haven't seen for years and I found out that whilst I'd been doing family research down my grandmothers line my cousin Michael has been doing grandfathers - we plan to swap notes and combine them.
We have a new addition to the family Una's great-granddaughter was born this morning and is doing very well, the family are ecstatic!
I'm off to rummage through the baby patterns to find something to knit - any pattern suggestions?

Posted by: Stash Haus at June 5, 2010 06:17 PMGlad the service went well. Congratulations on the new family member - how about a debbie bliss shrug? There is one in the simply baby book - its in cashmerino aran. I always think its an ideal garment for when they start crawling.
