This is a cardigan that Granny knitted for my sister, Tanti, when she was a wee bub. It was handed to me for my girls. Both of them wore it and we love it.
I decided to try making it again in a larger size 'cause this baby of mine just won't stop growing! Amazing, as Granny is, she had the pattern tucked away and gave me a copy. I found a modern pattern and used the size and wool as a guide but I pretty much followed the exact pattern that Granny did nearly 40 years ago. (Not that we're talking about anyone's age today. Sorry!)
There was a number of unknitting sessions in this one and much counting and now it makes me smile to see it complete.
I like to see them together. Like the people who knitted them and wear them; of different generations but of similar make up. Mother and daughter, Grand-mother, Aunt and grand-daughter.
Forgive me if I well up.
Love you Granny, love you Tanti.
