| I am the second girl of four. I'm the one they call nuts because every where I go I have knitting needles. I have no shame I will pull them out when bored. I walked in my sisters house and almost passed out she was knitting. She started knitting with a group at work. She asked to go thru my stash she says she will not become me. Little does she know she is me. This is the sister that gave me a kidney a year ago. I told I have one of her kidneys and she has my only habit that turns out to be good. How about that. I told her about KR. Donna |

THAT IS WONDERFUL! She gives you a kidney and you give her the knitting bug. Very nice exchange. Your sister sounds like a kind loving women.

Sisters are the best! I smile every time I think of mine, and I wish so that she was closer and that I could just pop in and share a cup of coffee and a few rows of knitting with her. Donna it sounds as though you have a wonderful sister as well.
Keep on knitting!

| Did anyone watch last night's Grey's Anatomy? The story line about the sisters giving/receiving a kidney was quitter well done. |

I'm close to all my sisters. The sister that knits now is the youngest. I'm 15 years older than she is. I laugh every time I pass her because she always called me the old lady that knits. You know I must love her if I'm letting her go thru my stash. Only the lady at my local yarn shop can only guess at how much I have. When I woke up from my surgery only a sister would set you up for a date with the doctor. My sister is tall and has the perfect body. That's what the doctors kept telling me. So I had fun in the hospital. It's a sisters love. Donna

Amazing story. You are lucky in the sisters. I'm very close to mine and would give her a kidney if she needed it. Sharing stash: My knitting DD's get it all. I'm being sure to get it all cataloged this year and not buying anymore if I can help it.

| What a great sister! My son donated a kidney to his sister 6 months ago. Don't think he's taken up knitting yet, but he did get me a gift certificate to a yarn store for Christmas. The sales lady was shocked when a cute 25 yr old came in her store and broke out in a smile when he told her what he wanted. |

| Donna since all my children are now grown, I think they consider my knitting something to keep me entertained. Just recently I've been learning to spin and saving for a wheel. They all just smile whenever I talk about it. I've made a sweater for each child and they are always asking when they get another one. I consider myself one blessed woman. |

What a terrifc, heart-warmimg story. I am an advocate of organ donation, but one from a loving sister makes it so much more special. I am firmly convinced that the new knitting germ has come about as a great trade-off with your sister. I wish I could get my daughter to knit. Never say never....even if it takes a kidney to bring it about, right?
