I adore my mum. We are really good friends - I don't tell her everything, but I could if I wanted to. Mum swears a lot, smokes even more, gets misty-eyed over sad animal stories and feels very strongly about justice. She calls me about once a week and tells me everything that is going on with her, my dad, rest of the family, her friends or my cat. She ends the call by demanding I hug my boyfriend and rattie boys for her. Aww.
Nykyään äiti ei enää neulo eikä virkkaa - hartiat jumittuvat vähästäkin tekemisestä. Niinpä olen luvannut nyt vuorostani pitää hänet välttämättömissä neuleissa.
Mum knitted and crocheted enormously when I was a kid. My boy doll, Matti, had loads of self-made clothing. Green woolly pants, cardigan and hat, yellow sweater, socks, mittens, underwear out of Disney-themed stretchy fabric...
Mum doesn't knit or crochet any more, her shoulders can't take it. I have promised to keep her equipped sock-wise from now on.

I am passionately in love with this colour. I wouldn't use it myself, but knitting it was a treat. I know mum loves the colour too, because it is the same I used for her Christmas scarf. I still have a bit of this left, and indeed, I have an idea...
Thanks, all, for commenting my new favourite cardigan. It has been a popular project in Ravelry, too, although mum's Christmas scarf is still in lead in my most-hearted projects. Colours!

Äidit on ihania. Minulla ei enää äitiä ole, eikä anoppia, mutta onneksi naapurista löytyi Eeva, vara-äiti minulle ja vara-mummu lapsille. Ihanat sukat.
VastaaPoistaKauniit sukat! Äidilläsi on ihana tytär, kun saa noin suloiset sukat tyttäreltä. :)
VastaaPoistaVoi miten kauniit sukat, ihanan väriset!:)
VastaaPoistaKauniit ovat sukatkin!
VastaaPoistaSulla on aina niin ihanan värisiä sukkia ja muita neulomuksia! Kumpa omistaisin miehen, joka ymmärtäisi tarpeeni ostaa Wollmeisea ja joka mielellään myös rahottaisi ne :)
