Knitted doily?? What's up with that? I would bet the farm and all my critters that Grandma did not knit. I don't think Grandma Anna knitted. I lived my entire childhood thinking we were crochet people, period. Maybe Grandma had one from the Iversen side that she was given or something. But other than that, I'm stumped. I can't see her going out and buying one, but I suppose that is a possibility, too. I have an anti-knit bias and would like to see this settled. Mom? Nancy? Jim?
I think I am caught up now with this being Tuesday and this also being a post for Tuesday.
Here's Grandma Anna contemplating, I am sure, the inferiority of knitting. I love the doodad in her hair.
You are right - Mom did not knit. She did buy some knitted doilies from Leona Backstrom. I have one round one and the rectangular one that is on Mom's bookcase or whatever you call it. Both of them were made by Leona.
