A Girl’s Pictorial Journal of Years Past

Worn and Torn but Still Lives

It has been several years since I have tried to use textures, but I’ve decided it is time to reteach myself. This is my first attempt, and it certainly leaves a lot to be desired. Still, I have to start somewhere. This album belonged to my children’ father’s mother. It is filled with pictures, newspaper articles, and notes from her friends spanning from high school through college. It is truly a treasure.

"Tonight, as I looked out my window

At the snowflakes, lovely and white,

I thought of the days of my childhood

Long past, all so happy and bright,”

~Gertrude TooledBuckingham, “The First Show of the Season” (1940s)

Little Hats

Each year I try to make all of my Christmas presents, but sometimes I have to purchase a few. I LOVE knitting little bobbly hats with squiggles on the top using Tahki cotton classic yarn, and here are two that  I  just finished. I made the hats so that they can  change as the child grows.  The red one can turn up to make it shorter, and you can see the roll on the pink one pulls down to make it longer/larger. Debbie Ware has many patterns which I have knitted in the past, but now I like to follow her style but create as I go making them my own. 

“The best reason for a knitter to marry is that you can’t teach the
cat to be impressed when you finish a lace scarf."
