Welcome to Knitting Grandma!
I have been knitting for at least 7 decades, and yes it's true: I have a grandson who really called me Knitting Grandma! I love to knit for babies and children, and most enjoy making up my own patterns, so my garments are one of a kind.
If "hand knit sweater" makes you think of itchy wool, things have changed! I will admit to being a yarn snob. Life is too short to use cheap yarn! In the past decades there's been lots of development of innovative fibers and blends, like bamboo-sourced yarn. I favor natural fibers; my favorites are alpaca, merino wool, silk, and their blends. I will always try to tell you the yarn used for each garment.
A word about sizes: all babies are different and believe it or not, sweater size charts charts are all different too. I have included measurements for my garments to end confusion. But you don't have to chase a wiggling toddler with your tape measure: just find a garment that fits with some growth room and measure that.
All these pieces are washable: wash with other garments and dry flat.
If you have an idea for something special, please contact me!
The David Sweater!
larger children 4 - 11
hats, scarves, and shawls
One of my grandsons has always called me "Knitting Grandma." I have been knitting for about 70 years! I specialize in baby and toddler knits and love to design my own patterns, so my items are one of a kind. I admit to being a yarn snob - love to use luxury yarns, as long as they are washable. In addition to the baby sweaters, I have child and adult hats, scarves, and shawls. If you have something special in mind, I'm happy to consult on custom projects. I will ship your order within two days of purchase. All items are stored in my smoke-free home, but I do have a cat, so be careful if you have allergies.
