Sweaters
February 20th, 2011
I’ve only owned one store-bought sweater in my life; all the rest have been made for me, mostly by my mum. Her arthritis won’t let her knit any more, but I took pictures today of the ten I still have. They smell like Scotland, and Toronto in winter, and like home—always, like home.
Wow that loon sweater is superb. Any chance of a hi-res?
Wow, your mum knits jazzy sweaters. My mum favours Aran, and she knits gorgeously but for some reason is incapable of making a sweater small enough that I don’t swim in it. So I have a collection of giant Aran sweaters I wear around the house when I’m freezing.
Now she makes sweaters for the children – at least if they’re too big we can just wait for the girls to grow.
