In the month of April I knitted six pairs of mittens. I think that brings my total to 33 pairs.My knitting skills are improving and I'm starting to think that I might be able to finish Gram's last project - a baby sweater for my cousin's baby. My grand-dad asked me to finish it when Gram died but I wasn't a good enough knitter to do it. I think I might be now although I don't think I'll be able to get a picture knitted into the front of it like Gram always did. That's still a project to tackle in the future - I think I should just get the thing done before baby Rachel grows too big to wear it.
Gram was in the hospital when Rachel was born. She had a photo of newborn Rachel near her hospital bed. I remember that she wanted so desperately to finish the sweater she'd started for Rachel but she just didn't have the strength.
I hope that Gram would be pleased for me to finish it.
I'm pretty dang sure she is pleased. :o) With every stitch you make, she is remembered... how could someone not be pleased with that kind of legacy?
ReplyDeleteGram tried to teach me to knit, but I was horrible at it. That will be so amazing if you can finish Rachel's sweater. Picture or not.
ReplyDeleteActually the designs are fairly simple to do. I can't believe I know how to do them, but I do (Grammy taught me). Bring your stuff with you in August and we'll work on it. Do you have Grammy's patterns? If not, we can get some Amy patterns.
ReplyDeleteI have all of Gram's patterns. I will definitely bring them with me.
