Wadad was born in Lebanon. Her nana taught her to knit when she was 7 years old. Her first project was a sweater for her brother. It took her 10 years to make! Wadad came to the United States in 1975. She went back to Lebanon and 15 years later she came back to the United States to live.
Wadad went to the Allen Senior Recreation Center one day and saw us knitting around one of the tables. She asked us what we were making. She has been sitting with us ever since that day. I've never seen anyone knit as fast as she does. And her caps are beautiful. Wadad is a very special person to us.
