I hate to hear about the loss of your friend…so sad, she was so young! It’s nice to have something to remember her by, though, that you can actually hold and use and that triggers good memories.

Boy this post sure did tug at my heartstrings. *sigh*

Your friend was very blessed to have you to keep her memory alive.

"Maybe just because she is a knitter, and knitters tend to hoarde the materials we love."

Oh God, it's so true. I've been knitting for years, but only recently accepted the fact that there were skeins of yarn I was just never going to want to actually knit up. They're just too pretty or special to even try.

I really love the feel and color of this one pair of metal size 6 DPNs, and so I'm weirdly hesistant about using them outside my apartment lest I drop or lose one.

Sorry about your friend. I can't even imagine how hard that must be. Hopefully blogging helps a little bit. I know I've always found there's therapeutic value in saying aloud (or typing, I guess) what you're sad or angry about.

Thinking of your friend is sad and happy and a tribute to your friendship.
I saw an old friend I hadn’t seen in 20 years last fall. It was such fun – a four-hour dinner, that could have gone 10 if there hadn’t been a plane to catch! Enjoy the visit. And take lots of photos! My photos were taken in the parking lot in the dark in a rush – and I’m so glad I have them.

It’s lovely to have some of your friends things to remember her by. Don’t worry about being sappy and sad, sometimes we need to stop and acknowledge the people who made a difference in our lives. One of my best friends from college died this year and I understand your thoughts.
