My mom sent this beautiful sweater she made for my daughter. It's really amazing and is the exact same color as Lilly's eyes. It also has a funny little back story. My mom told me she started this sweater probably 40 years ago for my cousin, Pam. Well, somewhere along the way it got tucked away unfinished (as I'm sure many of you makers can understand). While cleaning out a closet last year, she found it! In a bag, with the yarn and pattern. All that needed to be done was the sleeves and finishing. Lucky for us, she tucked it away all those years ago because it sure is perfect for Lil.

Something New
I just finished this piece of lace. It still needs to be blocked, but I'm pretty excited. It's going to be a coin purse. I imagine a bride carrying it with necessities on her big day. I knit it from yarn left by my grandmother who made beautiful lace. Look for it on my etsy site soon!
