Judith's grandmother taught her to knit when she was 8 or 9 years old. Her grandmother gave her her knitting bag and needles, which she has to this day. To Judith, knitting is a creative, meditative, and therapeutic process. Making chemo hats, blankets, or prayer shawls is when knitting is taken to a higher level for her.Lexicon
