The story behind me working on this stitch is a little bitter-sweet. In June (2011), I sat down to see a little old lady called Gladys. I was there with a good friend as a temporary shift filler. Gladys suffers with Alzheimer's, and has very few moments of clarity. I had taken my crochet work with me. She then began explaining this stitch she loved. I took very messy notes. I lost the notes somewhere in the panic of coming home from Uni, and now I remembered them. So after a little testing and some scribbles. I typed up the stitch pattern.

To the relatives of the sufferer, seeing a loved one vanish because of this disease is heart-breaking. I'd like to believe there'll be a time when we don't have to lose them to this disease.

The amount up there is very arbitary. I'd love to actually exceed it! It all depends on page visitors now... And a great big thank-you for reading this. Even more so if you donate! ;)
