I was visiting family last week and revisiting some history by looking through photos at my Grandmother's home. This photo really made me smile - it is of two of her brothers - and taken in the mid 1920's on a visit to Invercargill.
I love the innocent looks on the faces of my two great-uncles and I am awed by the knitting that (probably) my great grandmother did for them. Both have hand-knit jerseys and we can presume both hand-knit socks.
My K wears hand-knit socks and jumpers and is quite proud that 'momma made these for me.' I do meet the odd other child who wears hand-knit socks, mostly made by grandmothers. What love!
