Description
I told Marilyn that I used to do knitting and one day I would post some of it, well here it is.
When I was a kid(before being a teenager) my mother learned me how to cook, sew, knit, iron and everything else about running a home. She told me I might not get wed so I needed to know just in case. Thanks Mom, it helped more than once.
Emma aged four in the pale green, knotted lace top and a pleated and steamed skirt. Emma aged five in the lilac lace top and pleated skirt. The knitted clown, I did that and donated it to Emma's primary school for a raffle, they raised close to £200.00 GBP. All were done on a Brother Knitting machine part of which can be seen in a couple of the shots. I knitted a couple of the suits and sold them for £85.00 each, that is child size, Adults was £125.00gbp. I also used to do quite a lot of Mohair edge to edge jackets, lined with silk and with aplique's at £80 - £110 depending on size and design. Emma still has both suits in her wardrobe and they are still like new, Pauline still has several mohair jackets still in her wardrobe. I have not done any knitting since my eyes started to get bad, maybe about ten years ago. I have however started doing jewelry as part of my stone polishing hobby.
Thanks for stopping by for a look and for any comments you care to make.
May the sun shine down on you where ever you are.
For all you ladies out there, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.

I tried knitting and did okay. I learned crocheting and did better and actually made a couple skirts and sweaters for myself. I have done countless crocheted scarves and blankets but I have never used a machine to do it and I can see that it really makes a difference. These items you made are quality items! Great photos of Emma that make me feel good inside and awesome skill you have in clothing manufacturing.
