from the series
“china painting goes knitting”

plain raglan handknit
with machine appliqué
using a pattern
from my china painting book
a craft I learned during
my AFS-exchange year 1977/78
in a local YMCA-class
A wealthy lady donated
the course to me
before I even hit the USA

Up to this day
I am still very grateful
for this wonderful opportunity
which opened many other doors
to the fascinating world of arts & crafts
