Look!
My Mum taught me to knit and all the time I was growing up, the sound of the needles gently clicking away was always in the background. She made so many Aran cardigans and jumpers, and other warm and lovely garments too numerous to remember.
But for the last several years, Mum has turned to quilting and needlework. She even gave me all her old needles and wool. But my Dad and brother now wear hand knitted socks and this chap emerged from the needles last week. He is going to be clothed I believe - and photos of his wardrobe will be forthcoming.

Katie, that is so cute!!! How lucky to have your mom teach you!
