I wore that thing till the sleeves barely covered the elbows and she hid it from me. It's long gone, she doesn't remember where, although she promises she would only have given it to someone who appreciates it.<br /><br />What I wouldn't have given to have been able to let my girls wear that when they were that size.AlisonHhttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23822884.post-77206306214499187152010-01-19T10:42:02.575-05:002010-01-19T10:42:02.575-05:00The old spend the morning trying stuff on ordeal -...The old spend the morning trying stuff on ordeal - 'gotta do it.

However:<br /><br />a) THEY WON'T STOP GROWING.<br /><br />b) They try desperately not to hurt my feelings, but unless it comes from a store of their choosing, and/or has a rock & roll logo on it, they ain't wearing it.<br /><br />So as mentioned already, I am holding out for grandkids.

Hmmm..... have to look into that.<br />In the meantime, glad you're back. I missed you!<br />NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23822884.post-30293903019313331022010-01-18T14:59:55.115-05:002010-01-18T14:59:55.115-05:00Just one word.

If you don't have the same yarn, make contrasting bands of colour, and unravel the cuffs and reknit them. Voila! Another few months of wear. It's great when they love the things you knit for them.<br />I knit a double breasted coat in blue, with navy collar and pocket trim for my nephew when he was 1 1/2 years old. His mom used it for all three sons, and then it travelled around from one family to another, through the extended family and the inlaws. I don't know where (or if) it still exists, but it sure got lots of wear. At one time I considered embroidering the initials of all the kids who had worn it. The original owner is now 35 years old and just had a son. Should I knit a repeat of the coat? <br />Marlyce in Windsor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23822884.post-44519076999348005632010-01-18T13:12:37.942-05:002010-01-18T13:12:37.942-05:00Somet hings are too precious to let go.

I'm shocked at how small I was. I also have a sweater from my child days that I can't bear to throw out. So long as it's not a huge mountain, a little nostalgia won't hurt....Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047009380102911866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23822884.post-36946990939538336842010-01-18T10:39:48.935-05:002010-01-18T10:39:48.935-05:00That spider is cool.
