Dear Louisa, My grandmother does beautiful handwork and she enjoys doing it as she is slightly lame and cannot move around easily. But she claims that materials are so expensive that she is not able to do what she would like to do. I solved a part of this problem for her by giving her a sizable gift certificate last Christmas at her favorite shop and this year she has had a “ball” making Christmas gifts for the people she usually remembers without any ex-

pense to herself. These are wonderful gifts and everyone including grandmother is very happy about them. G.S.--Tenn. Answer: For a shut-in, who loves to do handwork, this sounds like a wonderful idea. But 1 hope those receiving gifts, remembered grandmother in a nice way. While many people enjoy knitting, crocheting, etc., it takes a great deal of time and work to create lovely things and such gifts should be appreciated. Louisa.
