My Mama has serious talent when it comes to making handmade garments. I wish I had even an ounce of the skill she possesses, when it comes to picking up a pair of knitting needles and creating a masterpiece. We have many beautiful jumpers, cardigans, hats and booties around the place. Not to mention a handful of lovely woollen throws, for the lounge and beds.
Her latest work is a jumper she lovingly put together for Felix. The baby of her eighteen grandchildren. A beautiful choccie brown, with cream stripes across the chest and shoulders. Reminds me of a choc-vanilla ice-cream. Adorable when coordinated with a pair of corduroy pants or dark denim jeans. And just perfect for the increasingly chilly days we're experiencing, now that Autumn is well and truly upon us.
It's a task & a half getting this cheeky boy to stand still long enough to capture a detailed shot of the subject.
Oh I love hand made and this jumper is beautiful! So lucky your mama is so talented! xx
