“I love life! We so fortunate to be alive! Aren’t we?”

Ouma Peggy says she spends most of her time knitting and never gets lonely. She also says she never has to buy wool, it simply comes to her. Her motivation for knitting and giving the jerseys away is simply the gratitude and pleasure she sees on the mothers’ faces when she hands over the jersey. She does it to see people smile.
