Do you Crochet?
Here is another message we got
from Patricia (Hannay) James in Australia, thanking clan members
for their response to her original letter (see end of article):
I would like to thank you for placing my
notice about Crocheting on the Clan Hannay Website. If you
remember I was the one who crocheted the queen size bed Hannay
tartan rug. You were very helpful and posted my message about
wanting to hear from people who love to crochet.
Well I would like to advise you that I have
received a few emails from Hannay Clan members who loved the rug
and who were interested in obtaining the instructions.
I have kept in contact with a yound lass
who lives in California and I have just received another from a
Lady wanting to know about the rug.
Thank you for your help. I am so pleased
and excited about the whole thing.
I know it has been a while since you first
published this article. I wasn't sure what response I would
receive.
Thanks again Best wishes Patricia James
PS I have completed a smaller knee rug:
The original message was as follows:
Looking for Clan Crocheters!
My name is Patricia James (nee Hannay) and I
live in Clontarf Beach, Queensland, Australia. I am a very keen
crocherer and would love to hear from Clan members who crochet.
I have just completed a family Hannay tartan rug big enough to
fit a queen size bed:

If anyone is interested in
communicating with me, my email address is agrp@bigpond.com
or write to me at:

Clontarf Beach 4019,
Queensland,
AUSTRALIA
I look forward in hearing from you
soon.
