In Memory Of Zoe:

“Hug Of Love Pattern”

This pattern was created from the love and compassion of a friend in my time of grief. I had to put my best friend to sleep on September 15, 2010. She was a beautiful 13 year old red bull terrier named Zoe, a companion for life that I will miss dearly. She had extremely allergies and poor immune system.
I was lucky to have her in my life to help her control her problems as a daily commitment. My friend Christa could feel my loss, having suffered it herself. We had talked only weeks before on creating a pattern using a changing of the needles. When she heard about Zoe, she went to work and in an evening blessed me with the “Hug of Love” pattern. It is written and given in Memory of Zoe. Out of this tragedy in my life came something good to share with others who need a huge hug when deep in their moment of grief. Christa brought a smile to my face and a comfort to me that I didn’t stand alone. I share this pattern with you from Christa and me, Cynthia, to enjoy the process of knitting the hug and carrying our memory of the one we lost with us forever, never ever to be forgotten, and always to wrap our neck as a hug!

Go give a knitted hug of love today!
