This blog has now been silent for a year. The reason is bad for all of us: Our sister Roswitha ("rfm") died on May 2nd, 2015 from a quickly developing cancer in her spine and, then, her brain.

I will leave her blog online so that all who took interest in her crochet work can look at it and see what was one of her favorite hobbies - but, in my humble opinion as a complete layman, obviously more than a simple hobby.

Much more could be told about her - maybe, one day, I find time, to tell stories and interests and achievements connected to her, because I think that we all live on in what is told by others.

    So sorry for your loss but thank you for providing a wonderful legacy for your sister - I am new to crochet and just found her designs on Ravelry today - it will be an honour to make some of them for my grandchildren - hopefully this will give you some comfort that her designs will live on and give plenty of smiles to others.

      Hello Jayne - thank you for your kind words ... and it would be really great if you could create one or two of Roswitha's designs! - but even that you (and others) look at her work and consider this is something we are thankful for!
