Comments on: Suresh Singh’s Tank Top https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/03/25/suresh-singhs-tank-top/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 28 May 2019 19:37:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.3 By: Suneptula https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/03/25/suresh-singhs-tank-top/#comment-1289682 Tue, 28 May 2019 19:37:53 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=173266#comment-1289682 I love the narrative behind the tank top. It reminds me of Dolly Parton’s “Coat of many colors”. Suresh is a lucky man to have his mother make a treasured piece for him.I hope he plans to hand it over to his grandchildren some day. 🙂

Suresh, you have played an important part in Spitalfields life over the past 50 plus years, and I always regard you as a true friend,

Derek

It is a lovely thing.

I LOVE this story, and no doubt because I’m an avid knitter myself! I wonder if you’d let me post a link on our knitting Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/164535936952037/?ref=bookmarks
And the picture on Instagram with a credit? @sartoriusandblot.
Warmest wishes from Oostende,

PS. And I love ‘The Life and Times of Mr Pussy’.

In this case, Mum made the clothes, and now her son is doing her proud. Everything is held together by stories.
Thanks for this one, GA!
