Second sweater...love the green! Pattern by
|
I just finished putting together my second knitted baby sweater! It was a lot of fun to make and turned out really cute. As I was taking photos of my sweater, I began to think of the legacy of crafters that make up my family. One of my grandmothers is a knitter and the other is a crocheter. Both of them will actually be visiting me next weekend, and I can't wait to show them my latest project! Thankfully they have passed their "craft" down to the next two generations, as my mom and one of my sisters also knit.
In the mail yesterday, I received a quilted bag from my husband's aunt. Along with the bag is a framed piece of a quilt from Derrick's family. It is my pleasure to be able to hang that piece of quilt in my house, as a legacy of Derrick's family and their craft...quilting. My quilted bag will be used with pride as Shelley continues to create for the Ford family.
Here are some photos of the products of my family's creativity!
