We’re quite a family of knitters, so when a little girl is having a birthday, she ended up with a peach cardigan from great-grandma, and a pink one from Gran, and a knitted mouse from Aunty. She looks quite happy with things and likes tuna sandwiches and salad, and cake of course.
And it’s always good to make time for a tea party, even if we had frothy coffee instead.
And seeing as it was a lovely day, but a bit cold, we went for a swingalong in our local park.
Looks like a lovely day and frothy coffee beats tea any day!
Yes, Sally, it’s lovely mid-morning isn’t it?
Very cute – and lucky girl having so much knitted for her!
Hi, Rosemary, she loves her knitted cardigans. I did one over christmas that’s gone too small so her dolly has got a paler pink one to match:)
How beautiful. Well done, Glam Gran!
Thanks, Bea, I like knitting and especially when there’s such a cute little one to knit for.
How lovely it is to get together with family, especially the little ones. It gives us great satisfaction to see our handy work being worn. What a pity they grow so fast. My sixth grandchild born in December had a knitted blanket from me, so hopefully I will see it in use for a bit longer.
That’s a good idea. I did a couple of blankets as well, that last a while don’t they? Hand knitting is much warmer than bought clothes aren’t they, Maggie?
Awwwww lovely glad you all had a nice time on such a special day X
Hi, Sal, yes, the picnic in Dobbies was lovely. Cream cakes and sandwiches went down very well:)) Missy mouse is lovely. xx
Gosh, that year went fast, didn’t it? I wonder if she’s inherited the knitting genes too, at least she’ll have plenty of people to teach her.
Ha ha, yes she will, Linda. I’m sure she’ll want to have a go when she sees us clicking and clacking.
Lovely photos of lovely times 🙂 xx
Yes, Teresa, you’re right. Lovely to spend time with the ones we love. xx
Aaaaw, you’re keeping her cosy between you. Glad there was cake.
Yes, Patsy. She likes her fluffy jumpers. Especially now it’s gone cold. Of course there was cake:))
What a lucky little birthday girl to have so many hand~made gifts! I crocheted a couple of blankets, a jacket and a gilet for my granddaughter ~ and she loved wearing them. The cardigan I knitted was a bit strange though, the fronts dipped down so I gave that up as a bad job! You’re granddaughter is adaorable ~ I can’t believe that she’s already a year old! though. It seems like only yesterday you were telling us that she was on her way! 🙂
