Mothers are special, and mine definitely is. In Exodus 20:12 God gives the commandment to "

February Lady Sweater, actually a vest because I ran out of yarn. I intended to make her sleeves but she liked it just this way!
The buttons are vintage cat’s eye buttons which HER dad wore on his vests back in the 1910's & 20’s and they match the yarn PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!! I had the exact number of buttons I needed (3).

I am working on making this sweater for myself right now so I was so excited to see your post. Your mother looks absolutely lovely in hers. My mother would have liked it as a vest also. What a great idea to use your grandfather's buttons for her. You are a sweet and thoughtful daughter.
ReplyDeleteI love how your sweater turned out! And your Mom looks beautiful in it. She must feel very loved by you. xo
