Since we're in that horrid post Christmas phase of battling the rotten weather (or in my case, staying in more than usual), I thought this weeks flashbacks could have a bit of a theme. And what better way to keep out the cold than wearing that awesome knitted jumper/cardigan made by your crafting obsessed relative (Mother or Gran in my family...and now me!)
 |
| Kinda love this outfit... |
 |
| Mother looking rather smart |
 |
| My auntie - her mother is an equally obsessive knitter! |
 |
| Yes I'm in a box...who knows why... |
 |
| Am I the only one seeing some kind of gnome...? |
 |
| My cousin in Mr T fashion! And my other cousin in a rather cute blouse... |
 |
| Bodywarmers! (I HATE these with a passion) |
 |
| Brother having just broken his arm... |
 |
| How cute is my wee brother in his Aran cardi and stripes?! |
Long live knitting!
:)
Ah the amount of knits I was inflicted to somewhat ruined my relationship with the jumper. I was use to unfitting, thick and itchy wool that just made me look awful. I even remember being made Wallace and Gromitt jumpers. Ah the memories!
ReplyDeleteWords cannot describe the genius of that Mr T jumper!
ReplyDeleteI have the pattern for the jumper your auntie is wearing! I had a lovely jumper with a rather large cat on it, very snug! X
ReplyDeletewow, such a lot of fun knits. I had lots of hand knits as a kid, never really appreciated them.
ReplyDeleteI would totally wear that yellow cardigan.
ReplyDeleteMy gran used to knit me these enormous pink cardigans out of the ITCHIEST wool. Urgh.
Oh that Mr T jumper is AMAZING! My grandma was the knitter in our family and I had some similarly fantastic cardis and jumpers when I was little. Ah, if only she was still around.
ReplyDeleteI've tagged you in my latest post if you fancy having a go :)
