So I am a total wannabe knitter. I can knit a mean baby blanket or scarf, an occasional hat (slightly trickier), and one time I actually finished a sweater, though keep in mind it was for a very small child (who is almost 15 now) and the one I started for my husband is still in pieces and probably always will be. That means if you have a hand knitted original anything from me, you must be "special". My knitting guru, master of all things yarn related, happens to be my very own mother...so handy when I have made some sort of rookie mistake, like dropping a stitch or knitting with my tail (hmmm, don't I sound all knowledgeable...). Everyone in the family has been the recipient of a fabulous "grandma sweater" or two (or 10). Well, here is the latest one to make its debut...the ladybug sweater....
So fabulous but ummmm....I wouldn't even know where to begin with that pattern....yay for grandma!
and of course, Annie, who is not one to miss out on any of the action, decided to wear a "grandma sweater" yesterday too...this one was knit for Henry and is slowly making its way down the line.
Ahhh, the lovely Aunt Deborah squinchy eyes! And Annie wanted me to be sure to share her very cute pig tails...
Nice straight part (hoping you can hear the sarcasm in my voice)...who is that girl's mother?
Ahhh cables...love them though they are well beyond my scope and require some kind of fancy "cable needle thingy", which I do own as my darling mother had high hopes for my knitting skills and outfitted me and my sister with a fully equipped "knitting kit". Sadly for me, it is my sister who inherited the knitting genes and I believe may have actually used her cable needle. Such is life.
Here's my favorite shot of the day...wacky, I know, but I love this girl's eyes...and her cheeks, and her smooth, young skin...and her lashes...well, you get the picture.
OK, now we are getting close to the end of the Mother's Day contest, so don't forget to scroll on down and vote for your favorite shot...I'm getting excited to count votes and draw the random winner!! Deadline is Sunday evening...let's say 5:00 p.m....I'll try to post the winners Sunday night.
