It started innocently. Less than five years ago I said to my daughter, Amy, "you know, someday you'll be sorry you never learned how to knit from your mother!"
So she agreed, purchased some cheap yarn and needles and started a scarf. The only time she would knit was when she was having her hair colored at the hairdressers (yikes!). This went on for about two years or so.
All of a sudden, the knitting bug really hit her. Whenever I visit we spend a lot of time knitting and I try to teach her a new knitting technique. That, along with her LYS, YouTube, etc., she has become an accomplished knitter.
Today she sent me this picture of a shawl she was blocking. Isn't it beautiful! I'm quite pleased that she is carrying on the skills that were handed down to me by my beloved Aunt Rita.
The pattern is Pikenaze by Louisa Harding.
Proud Knitter!!!
And today is my daughter's 20th wedding anniversary! Happy Anniversary to her and her husband! They make a great couple!
Happy Knitting!
Good for Amy and the Mama that taught her! I like that my daughter crochets and my granddaughter knits and crochets.
ReplyDeleteI wish that I had another word besides, "Gorgeous!" Maybe...one of these days, the knitting bug will bite one of my kids.
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate Amy is to have a knitting mom to teach her. It is beautiful !!!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I'm so glad she stuck with it until the knitting bug bit.
ReplyDeletewow, this shawl is BEAUTIFUL, I can't help but to imagine a little newborn baby wrapped up in something so ornate =) And Happy Anniversary to them, wow, that's awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteTe your daughter "that is one gorgeous shawl. Excellent job." By the way, the likeness between the two of you is striking. Did a good job, mom. Renate

ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to them, and what a beautiful shawl!
ReplyDeleteHello and what a beautiful daughter you have .I see she inherited her Mom's love of beautiful things and the ability to create them.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a wonderful summer. I am .
I hope one day my daughter would like to learn something I do. It must be very satisfying knowing that you have passed on your talents to another generation. Congratulations! And her work is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated anniversary to Amy and her mister! She's as lovely as the shawl!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that cats think that knitting is their special domain, ha, ha. Your daughter's scarf is beautiful, and it does make it extra special that she's continuing a family tradition. I'm still waiting for my daughter to catch the "bug."
