I love hand crafts like knitting, crocheting and sewing, however over the years the family have not really wanted much. But now there are grandchildren and I am able to knit little garments that don't take long and give me much pleasure. There is something special about finding a pattern and then the wool, knitting up the garment (and being small these can just take a week) and then finishing it off with buttons etc.
My latest was a little jacket for Evelyn our 5 week old granddaughter. I used some old wool I have had for ages and "Design Four" from the Cleckheaton no. 423 pattern book, "Little babies including Premature Sizes".
O mY Gosh that is the cutest thing I have ever seen! You are a talented woman! I bet it looks so adorable on your grand baby... the color is fantastic as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteI love knitting especially small items as they don't take long. It is only as the children have become older that I have the time.
But know the older ones don't want knitted things so the grandchildren will get lots!!
