Diary Entry

In the class of L/L Writing the teacher told us to write a diary entry supposing that we were the grandmother of the poem "For my grandmother knitting". 

17th June, 1960

Dear Diary,

Today is my birthday! Today I`m turning 16! I hope this day has no end. Today in the morning my mother gave me my present.The family needles! It was the best gift ever received. For the ones who don`t know what I`m talking about, the family needles are the needles that my great grand mother used. It`s like a legacy they have been passing through generation to generation and now they are mine. This is a blessing for me. Tomorrow, I will start knitting a blue sweater for my nephew Joshua. He has an disease called alzheimer and knitting in a way, says to him that I love him and that I`ll always been with him, whatever it happens.

I have a lot of experience when we`re talking about knitting because when I was a child my grandmother took care of me and my brother. So, I learnt thanks to her, She knitted for hours and hours without breaketime. But, In some way she was worrying us a little bit because her fingers were swollen and red but she didn`t care. She is like an inspiration for me, Well, I`m going to buy some wool to knit. See you!

PS: Hope my nephew reads this letter and realize that I knit for him. He is my handsome prince.
