To the darling, darling creative being, Wink, I was so heartbroken to find out that you have left this life. I am so sorry that your darkness was so enveloping that you could not see the light anymore. To your devastated family and friends and the crafting community who are left behind, my heart felt condolences. Dear Wink, your light and talent has touched so many lives that you will live on forever. Thank you Wink for your wonderful creations, one of your beanie patterns was the first clothing/accessory item I have ever made, in fact I made two, one for me and one for my daughter, because she liked mine so much. Your blog is the only personal blog I subscribed too, because of your crocheting brilliance and general loveliness. I had not met you personally, but you were an inspiration and a crocheting mentor via your wonderful blog. With Love Toni, Sydney Australia.
