Knitted Treasures

IMG_9695

My Aunt Sharon and I have always been close. I still remember making gingerbread houses in her kitchen when my head barely reached her counter. Although we were happy to move back to Colorado a few months ago, I was heartbroken I wouldn’t be as close to Houston, Aunt Sherry and my sweet Grammy (see picture above…Lucille Amelia’s namesake!).

On Thursday night, my aunt threw me a beautiful baby shower. My sweet Grammy couldn’t have been more thrilled to attend the happy affair. My belly is growing daily, and I’m having to stretch t-shirts and dresses over what’s become my basketball size stomach/uterus. Old friends and family were excited to see the progress. But these knitted treasures were the true stars of the evening. My aunt is an incredibly talented knitter. She works at Knitting at the Loop, a beautiful store in Houston that encourages community through their fine goods, classes, and patterns.

I thought I’d share her creations for little Lucy. I have no doubt they’ll be treasured for the rest of my life and my daughter’s life too.

Did I mention how blessed I feel in this season of my life? So thankful for the beautiful community Lucy will join.

    What a nice and beautiful baby shower, I like a lot this tradition and it is a pity we do not have it here in Italy or Sweden. Oh my god… those beautiful creations! I think knitting is a real art. I have started chochet and I hope in the future I can make some of those cute little things.
    Have a nice weekend!
    Ciao.

    Such beautiful work! Hand-knitted baby clothes are some of the most satisfying projects ever–not least because of the excitement of a brand new person getting to wear them. (Can you tell that I also knit?:) )

    How freaking cute and cozy! I want to climb in those little pantaloons and tutu and twirl around the house. Seriously, these knits are adorable and I can’t wait to see pictures of Lucy wearing them!
