I went to visit my mother and saw she was knitting.  I could hardly believe my eyes.

Either of your parents have a secret talent?

Didn't you know she could knit?

My mother (now deceased) had a special talent. She could complete the entire set of puzzles in Take A Break just by making one simple, late-night phone cal lo me. The next morning, she would proudly wave the completed entry form in front of dad's disbelieving eyes, before popping to the post box😉

My parents are long gone. My mother could knit and darn. I never knew my father, but I suspect he was a talented musician, poet and rocket scientist.

Question Author

My mother would darn socks , but I never saw her with knitting needles until she was well into her 80s.

I didn't know my dad could roll his stomach until he was in his 60s.

I was never able to do it

12.25 so secret knitter ?

you should delve deeper you might find more surprises!

I learned to knit, sew and darn from my mother.  She was always knitting - jumpers, socks, balaclavas etc. Her "secret" talent so far as I'm concerned was her ability to draw. Back in the days when books had no illustrations, she would draw the figures for me. Sad to say I never kept any.

Their ability to control me.

Didn't last long
