I regularly buy from the fish counter in my local supermarket. I'm not sure when I first spoke to the lady who staffs it on Mondays and Fridays but we have a conversation every time I go there now. A few weeks ago, she told me she would be away for a couple of weeks because it was the anniversary of her father's death and she was going to scatter his ashes at his favourite seaside town. I asked how it went and she thanked me for asking.
I've made several knitted bags like the one in the photograph. One for my daughter for her to put her passport in on holiday. One for myself for the same purpose and the others have gone to several people. Last Monday, I decided as I'd finished a number of current knitting projects it would be a good time to make one for the lady on the fish counter.
I finished it yesterday and gave it to her this morning. She replied, 'You didn't need to do anything.' I replied, 'I know but I've made it for you.' I will see her next week and I hopes she liked it.
