Look what I finished!
These baby blankets are the ones I was weaving on my drawloom. This first one is the only one going into my drawer for later. |
Two of my friends are becoming first time grandmothers, so this one went across town. |
And this one flew off to Texas. |
My mother taught me how to knit. She also knit for me. I didn't have a store bought sweater until I was 16. A few months ago, Mom said she needed a summer weight cardigan. The yarn is Zooey. I started with the pattern, Winterfell, and made a few changes following Ann Budd's book. The biggest change was to go from raglan to a set-in sleeve. What an incredible gift it is for me to be able to knit for my Mom! |
Karen, the baby blankets are adorable! Love the sweater you knit for your Mom, she looks very pleased wearing it. What a lovely labor or love.
