Lovely picture of your mom! I remember my mom having this exact same haircut (curls and all) in 1997... For a ferry ride like this, the Peaks Island Hood from Ysolda Teague would be perfect. And it would look lovely in that shade of red.

thank you for your blog and I apologize for having gotten confused with my sign on, I was born on mother’s day to a mentally ill mother, and so Mays are hard for me. This morning my daughter called to say she had just suffered a nine-week miscarriage. I am currently crocheting a large baby blanket for my step-daughter’s second baby. last week I cought some outrageously expensive yarn for a blanket for this-so-soon-lost baby. Thank you for writing your blog. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of my mom, although she dies of breast cancer 12 years ago. Happy birthday Jane!I think that a luscious red shawl would be entirely appropriate. Once again, thank you for reminding me that there are many others knitting and remembering, Julie

Thank you for your blog today. May is very hard for me also. I was born on mother’s day, to a mentally ill mother, This morning my daughter called to tell me she had just suffered a 9-weeks miscarriage. I am currently crocheting a large baby blanket for a stepdaughter’s second baby, and last week I bought some terribly expensive yarn for a blanket to this blessed lost baby. My mother died thirteen years ago–she would be 88–of breast cancer, and not a day goes by that I don’t think of her.
Happy birthday Jane! High tea sounds wonderful, as does a beautiful red shawl. Thank you for writing to let me know that others also knit and remember, Thank you again.

That wonderful goofy photo I have of Jane hiding behind the Maryland flag? She is wearing that shade of red. Go for it!

The Rose Song shawl by Carol Feller I bookmarked the other day comes to mind. It calls for a thicker yarn (shawl sans lace? yes please) in a bright colour
