Just like a Grandpa

My Dad is a man of many talents. One of them is spinning the wool from his pygora goats (and other various fleeces) into yarn. He also knits. (I'm one of the few slackers in my family who doesn't.)

...but when you start from square one (goat), it can take a while to get to the finish line (the sweater). Thus, Dad has started out-sourcing his knitting - not to China - to his mother.

So, Grandpa washed, carded, and spun the wool. Great Grandma Cozette knitted it up into the sweater. Reminds me of the book Just Like a Baby, where the whole family uses their different talents to make a special place for their new little one.


Doesn't Annika look pleased with herself and her special new sweater?


Only one question now - when do I get one?
I want mine gray and long (at least hip-length), to help conceal my tushy. :)
