Summer Knitting


Door County, Wisconsin, July 1979. Mom and her best friend, Donna, spend another afternoon knitting together.

Mom looks like Donna said something she didn't want to hear.

I thought of that too, but there's a second photo--taken moments after Dad snapped this one--in which Mom is laughing.

I recognize that focused look on your mom's face. It's a version of the Knitter's Puzzlement.

"I miscounted and now I'm off a stitch here somewhere. What the heck did I do?"

You're right; it looks like she is correcting a mistake.
