Mama who bore me

My dear Mother,

You carried me for nine months, laboured long before epidurals became the norm, fed, sheltered and loved me.  You saw me through the teen years, which I understand ranged from trying to trying-like-hell-not-to-kill-this-creature-I-created.  You supported me in every way through six years of university, inspired me to find the man of my dreams, and have become the most loving grandmother imaginable.

For that, my loving mother, I give you this, for you have earned it.

Please accept and use this card whenever necessary.

In exchange, I will brag about your projects as though they are my own.

Mary's Flower Basket Shawl, worked in Colinette fingering weight she obtained at their factory store in Wales last summer.  It's huge, larger than my blocking surface!  Isn't it gorgeous?

Now that is an amazing gift - A "get out of blocking free" card would be better than a "get out of jail free" card to me!
and your Mom's shawl is beautiful!!
