    When we were kids my grandmother would send us hand knitted slippers with BIG pompoms on them. I just loved them. When I had my own daughter, I found the pattern for the slippers my grandmother had made so many years before. Then every Xmas she had the slippers too!
    When my daughter was learning to knit, her first project was slippers with the BIG pompoms🙂🙂

    A lovely post, thank you.I have an aran jumper that I knitted as a teenager, it took me about a year, but it was from yarn bought on a holiday to Donegal with my family. It has frayed but it still wearable nearly 60 years later.

    I think that having something with memories attached to it is part of the joy of knitting (and other crafts). I love picking up pieces I made years ago and remembering not just them being used e.g. by a child now grown far too large, but also my making of them – my mood at the time, what was going on around me while I was making them.
