Hope I can do as well if I reach that age. My 95 year old neighbour did beautiful crochet and my grandma used to knit well at that age. I can only hope that practise keeps the fingers nimble.

As a small child I was taught how to do hand work. I used it over the years. When I got my Pfaff - I told myself I got it for ALL the fancy things it could do - and I wouldn't have to do any more. Now I use my FW non-stop and I still do the hand work I learned as a child. Machines just are not the same as our hands
