Knitting Mama




I've said quite a lot about the Knitting Dad hereabouts so I think it's time to show you some Knitting Mama. When I was a child my mother knit (and sewed) most of our wardrobes and she's still busy.





This fearless knitter has been behind all of my projects, lending support and cheering from the sidelines. I'm sure she picked up more than her share of my dropped stitches and she definitely passed on the love of knitting and the infinite possibilities of yarn.

For this Mama and for so much more, I thank you.

To begin the parade of Mama Knits, I introduce the Brother Sweater. Knit for one brother and worn by everybody else that followed. It's more than a little bit felted now, but all the warmer for that.

Joseph Cot Blanket


And there's more in the Joseph series from the NicKnits Knitting Mum & Dad Team.



I have described previously how over the years there was a Joseph Jumper knitted for everyone in the family. Right at the end of this line comes Little Mouse, the 9th grandchild, the last leaf on the family tree.



Here's the Joseph Cot Blanket. Knit by Dad and quilted by Mum. What a team.

Impressed?

I'll bet you are.
