Not only did you give lovely thanks to so many people who cared for you in the hospital, you gave us all a gift. It is a joy to see someone share their love so freely. Thank you! Wow!

I thanked a number of personnel that helped my dad - not all in a knitted way, but I did an awful lot of baking back then. It's the coolest thing I've read in a long time. this was the perfect day for me to read this post.

And a great way to show that "patients" are people with talents, warmth and appreciation for those who have helped them. Wouldn't it be neat if they had a group photo of all of your lovely handwork being worn by the recipients? "We've been alisoned!" What fun this must have been!

I loved Bev's comment and hope that you will be less renowned from now on (meaning that you won't be needing future care to be grateful for!) As others said, thanks for sharing your story!

What a lovely thing to do for those who touched your life...and made it better.
