Sir, – What a very refreshing article by Sarah Moss regarding her love of knitting (“Why do I knit? I’m not patient, knitting helps me to wait, takes the edge off agitation”, Life & Style, September 6th). I would love to be able to knit well but, unfortunately, I am simply a plain and purl person!

They are amateurish efforts but there is love in every stitch and they are still treasured by the children! – Yours, etc,
LAURA O’MARA,
