Some more sweaters


This sweater, knitted by my mother around fifty years ago, if I remember right, was in a good enough shape to give as a gift to a friend.

A third sweater I gave as a present to my daughter-in-law Cheryl.
That sweater is a combination of both knitting and woven colorful bands and tin buttons.
It was made by my mother around forty years ago, when I was constantly talking about emigrating.
One day my mother said: "I will have to finish the sweater before you leave". That was the first sign that she had accepted my decision to emigrate.

One generation later, my son has emigrated to the States, so the sweater has now emigrated for a second time around.

Hope you will enjoy it, Cheryl!
