It's Pretty AND Functional

Mom, you were right again. When the weather turned, I thought I didn't have a jacket for Lucy to wear. As I was digging through her clothes, I found the sweater I knit for her before she was born. I put it on and the baby was happy to play outside all afternoon. I don't know when I've felt such a deep satisfaction over something I'd made.There is nothing quite like feeling like you've made something that not only looks cute (especially that hood!) but is practical, too.
And it has motivated me to finish Daisy's, which has been in pieces for over a year. I hope it still fits...

My heart is fluttering. Is that sweater great, or what?? Love the hood AND Lucy's face in the hood shot. Makes a grand/mother proud. XOXO
