Knitting Advice, circa 1970

Holly, a fellow knitter in St. Paul, found the following
long-forgotten letter in a knitting book over the weekend:
Here's a close-up of her Father's advice:

My favorite line is:
"I could have made this more clear but your mother said not to make it too easy. Love, Dad"

Then again, this is a gem: "If you can figure it out, I'll give you more explicit directions later-".


Hee.

This letter was written well over 30 years ago.
Holly's parents are in their 80's. Currently, both are active knitters.
