Why do I call these needles Darling? My mom used to say Hi Darling! to my daughter when she was 18 months old. As weeks went by my daughter dropped the hi when she said it back and just said Darling. Therefore, her name became Darling instead of Grandma.

My mother became a Master knitter and to say she loved to knit socks is an understatement.
Sadly, at age 66 we lost her to lung cancer. (Yes we were close in age 19.5 yrs.).
I can’t help but think about her every day I post and see members of Darling 9” Circulars growing. She would have loved to be a part of this knitting group.
We Love You Darling! ❤️❤️
