Thanks a million Roxanne. I have been forced to help my wife with her knitting for the past year. She has dementia and has really been loosing her skills that she has had down pat for many years. You know how very important it is for people to keep their hobby alive, even though they are having a difficult time of it.

I'm so happy to hear that my video was helpful to you. My mother has dementia, so I do know. Good luck to you and your wife in your (now joint) knitting efforts. :-)
