Hand Knit With Love

Sometimes I wonder if I am the only young person on earth who really loves the hand knit sweaters that grandmothers and great grandmothers knit for new babies. The reason that I wonder is that people would bring them to my friend's consignment shop and she would either not take them or when she did put them on the floor they never sold. In the end I would buy them because I just love how soft they are, they were often brand new, and I knew that they were made with love, and how could I let them be given back to the consignor who didn't want them or to the charity where my friend donates the unsold clothes that people don't want back. I really do like to dress my child in these cozy creations that the women in these families made for their loved ones. My husband did point to the fact that they are old fashioned when I asked him why most people don't seem to like these items. I agree, but of course, that is part of why I like them. And they always, always looks cute once they are on a baby, and often, someone will ask me where I got them or if I made them. So, why not give these little treasures a second look when you see them at thrift stores and consignment shops? You may decide you love them, too. Just think, you will be putting something to use while keeping the energy of handmade going...
