Hello Lovelies,
Back in August we ( Mr BM ) had to empty the loft to allow some nice men to add more insulation.
Along with the Christmas decorations and camping gear we found lots of forgotten things like the poetry book mentioned in my previous post and some unfinished craft projects I had forgotten all about :0)
We also came across a big box of clothing labelled "Newborn ". It must have been there for nearly ten years.
Along with lots of sleep suits and vests were some hand knits..........
These were not made by me ( I can't knit ). These sweet little cardigans were made by my Nanna ( Maternal Grandmother )..........
For my first two children I did not know if they were going to be boys or girls so there are quite a few neutral items.
By the time I got to number three I decided to find out so this well worn blue cardigan will have been made for him.
Nanna was a very keen knitter for a lot of years and I've posted about her before here.
When she made this cardigan she will have been Ninety Four years old and sadly was not able to see well enough to carry on knitting for much longer after this........
I remember liking the cardigans she made as they were much easier to get on and off a floppy newborn baby than a jumper.
This sweet jumper looks unworn , probably due to this fact..........
I've already kept some of Nanna's best baby knits in the boys memory boxes. So yesterday I finally got round to donating these , along with the rest of the box of clothes , to a local Hospice charity shop....
But I'm glad I decided to take a few pictures of them at the last minute.
Special memories of days with tiny babies and Nanna with her clicky needles .
