Z's sweater in this picture is a bit of an antique. One of Da*ve's mom's (J*udy) coworkers made this for D when he was a baby. We took this a month ago because we wanted to make sure we got pictures of her in it. Every time we wore it out this spring, someone commented. I have an appreciation for the sweater as an heirloom and also because of the detail and precision of the knitting (especially since I have only mastered the scarf and just recently moved on to the hat in my knitting abilities). It also makes me think about the gifts I give and receive - how often do I put this much effort into a gift for someone else. My other question lately is... who was this woman who knit this sweater 37 years ago???
