Gail came around tonight for a fitting.
THEY FIT PERFECTLY. I am so pleased and so is Gail.
Her foot is 9" long and I turned the heel at 7" having first increased by 24 sts the sole.
Gail is not only lovely, I met her because she bought Vienna an Apso pup from me , but she has courage. She ran the London Marathon last year just a week after finishing radiation and still on chemo.

Love your inspirations, Colin.
