Thanks for posting about the dress I made for my daughter and is now worn by my granddaughter. It was a labor of love and I'm so glad that it's being passed on.
I have kept some adorable handmade things that were my 29-year-old son's, in beautiful shape to pass on to a grandchild someday.
My fave? A denim-colored wool blend button hoodie in Aran stitches hand knitted by my friend Dorothy M, back when I had my yarn shop! It is still gorgeous.
I also have a lovely hand-crocheted LARGE baby blanket made by my friend Myrtle C from my shop days.
I should dig these out and photograph them. Like your baby dress, they're a testimony to good workmanship - um, workwormanshop - and quality yarn!
I'm an avid machine knitter. I was the first YouTube creator to upload free machine knitting lessons. My goal was to get people to see these wonderful machines in action, Consider joining my Facebook group, “Knitting with Diana Sullivan,” where 9,000 members share their projects, ideas, and questions on just one topic: knitting! This is a happy, accepting place to share your MK challenges and projects.
I offer classes and patterns that make knitting easier and more fun, with key techniques shown, plenty of color photos, clear unabbreviated language, meticulous finishing techniques, and inventive solutions for better results.
I'm a retired CPA. My husband John and I will be married 50 years on December 21, 2024, and we live in in Austin, Texas. We have two adult sons and a beautiful daughter-in-law. John collects and fixes antique motorcycles, and also has a Model A.
