Lorelai was gifted a beautiful handmade sweater from her Aunt Virginia. Virginia picked up the knitting needles around Christmas – armed with many of my knitting books. She had made a bookmark for a first project and jumped right in to make herself a sweater. We’ve emailed back and forth about stitches and patterns and she’s on ravelry too. Look at how absolutely gorgeous this sweater is:
It’s black with the trim in pinky-purple and the flowers are pink – purple – white. Stunning! Virginia is hard on herself “Oh, you’ll see all the mistakes” but I’m blind to them – it’s a gorgeous sweater!

It looks like she has no arms, but I think this is my new favorite picture:
Okay, love the picture….love the sweater….and your baby is just the most beautiful thing on the face of the earth!!!!
Awww, I love that pic too!!! Wow, what a sweater…what a talent for knitting Virginia has! I can’t believe you used “U”, and so well, in the meme! Good going! See you soon!
I consider myself an equal opportunity fan-of-kids, but I think Lorelai is my current favorite.
