Dear Sun Spots: Back in 1982 when I lived in Village View Apartments in Wilton, an elderly lady by the name of Pearl Edwards gave me a pattern for a crocheted shawl.

It was very easy and very pretty. She said she had given it to several of her friends in Wilton and I lost this pattern and all the shawls I made for family are long gone.

I was wondering if anyone still had a copy of the pattern they would share with me? If so, please contact me through the column, and I will advise how to get it to me if you give an address or phone number. Thanks for your help. – Marge Grover, No Town.


Dear Sun Spots: Would you be able to find an address or phone number for the organization that helps people falsely imprisoned to clear their name? Any information would be gladly appreciated. – No Name, Lisbon.

In addition to responses from readers, contact The New England Innocence Project, which provides pro bono legal assistance to inmates who are challenging their wrongful convictions.

According to their Web site, their mission is to identify, investigate and exonerate wrongfully convicted individuals who are currently incarcerated in New England. They currently focus on the use of DNA evidence to achieve these goals.

All correspondence must be submitted through mail to: New England Innocence Project Coordinator, Goodwin Procter LLP, Exchange Place, 53 State St., Boston, MA 02109.
