This post will be a tribute to the greatest knitter I know. My mom!

She started knit as a child, 7 years old, and has never stopped after that. A friend of her learned here how to knit, and as we all know, if you practise you become better and better on something.

My childhood is filled with home knitted sweaters, socks and caps. Then I didn’t appreciate that my mom always made this things to me. Which now almost makes me ashamed; there are so many people that don’t know how to knit. And I had the nerve to not like the stuff mom made. Of course there where many things I really like, but sometimes I was not happy about a knitted sweater or something. Nowadays I love that mom is a great knitter! And here stuff are all just perfect!

Just in December my mom knitted a dress (no picture on that yet) to Wilma, my niece 4 month, 2 pair of gloves that she felted in the washing machine after she knitted them. I was lucky and received one pair in Christmas gift. And when we watched TV the Christmas weekend she made two pair of socks in almost no time. Amazing! She is so skilful; I will probably never have the same knowledge as she when it comes to knitting. It always becomes perfect. She knit so nice that once several people argued about a sweeter mom had made for a little girl. The receiver of course knew that mom had knitted it. But there was one person who was sure that no one could knit that good. I laughed when I heard that story! ( At the picture; I am playing with the new glove and the sunlight. )

This past summer mom knitted at Säterglätan when we went a course there. (I took a woodwork class) She got a lot of inspiration, because she talks about knitting so much now. Which is so fun because she tend to work too much, so that she has many new ideas on things to knit is great! We all need time to relax, mom too!

Du är bäst Mamma! Keep on knitting!

Here has my nephew played with one of the socks and needles!
