Mum taught me darning - a skill unknown to the next generation
|
Do you use a mushroom, Margaret? I've still got my mother's - it must be about 75 years old - though I don't do much darning these days.
I used to knit all my children's jumpers and cardigans, also did a lot of crochet but I've a bit of arthritis in my fingers now so don't do so much. I can sew too but I was never as good as my mother, who did tailoring at Night School for quite a few years and used to make our overcoats etc. Anyway - one up on mum - she couldn't knit.
