Meet Edwina: A Life Filled with Love, Crochets, and Cats

Hello, Edwina! nice to meet you! I'm Susan, you can find a lot of interesting patterns here.

I have a simple question… What does the word «relief» mean when a pattern says. «relief» socks or «relief» jacket or «relief» for different patterns?

THANK YOU FOR ACCESS TO SO MANY FABULOUS STITCH, & project PATTERNS! A pattern for everyone. Beginner to advanced skills. I'm sharing a piece of my knitting story here. Read on if you like. I believe working with yarn is in every nursing curriculum as an option class. I town a former LPN, to RN, to BN, & finally MSN. (needed to have a master's degree to teach… my dream career). My first taste of yarn work came in the NICU. Before ventilators were SOP & abundantly available. One nurse crocheted hats for the premature babes. On breaks, we would knit or crochet these tinny hats used to keep heat loss at a minimum, even when in incubators. Now some years (30+) later. Knitting has become once more an activity for mindful awareness. It calms the minds of many as we cope with COVID19. Soooo! ONCE A NURSE ALWAYS A NURSE. Following simple actions. YOU CAN SAVE LIFES. We will only come through these perilous times, if we adhere to careful ✋ washing. Use a face cover (mask) whenever you meet people WHO DON'T LIVE WITH YOU! Use mindful social distancing. PLEASE STAY HOME 🏡 if you feel sick. Get to a hospital if you have early symptoms associated with COVID19. Hope for better times, always… Remember to stay safe.

Thank you for sharing your story and for your job! Hope, we all be safe and sound!
