These are mine. I mean I wore these as a baby. As you can see they are in perfect - mint condition. My mother has kept them well, as do I for the past decade or more. These two are paired together but they are separate pieces - they do not match at all. The dress is completely knit and the cardigan is crocheted and their patterns are quite different. I guess the colors make them suitable so they were matched to be worn together.
Both are made by my grandmother and every time I look at her work I am amazed at how impeccable it appears. Not a stitch is astray.
When Eva was a baby she wore the cardigan but not the dress because I think it didn't fit. Eva was a chubby baby.
After airing them for a while, they are nicely packed away again, to wait for my baby's baby one day. If she doesn't think them outdated. :)
However, it is a precious heirloom I love clinging to.
Love that your Grandma made this and that it can be passed down. Pat S
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. Your grandmother did amazing work on this!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful. I love how you have kept them perfectly preserved over the years. I wish I had something like this from when I was little. We moved a lot and so much was lost. Seeing things like this make my heart smile.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your tiny cardigan!!!!!!

So very precious and amazing talent from your Grandmother :-)
ReplyDeleteSo precious, in every way. Talent runs in your family I see, does Eva crochet too? ;)
ReplyDeleteShe shows interest but is not patient. She's done a lot of finger knitting though this winter :)
DeleteThe ensemble is in such beautiful condition, I love that shade of pink. What a beautiful heirloom.
