a purple wool sweater
February 4, 2010
Brienne has a new friend, from her dance class, who has a lovely mother who can knit. We've had some playdates with Brienne's friend and her mother, enjoying a couple winter Friday afternoons together. When we met last week, R. (the friend's mother) gave Brienne a wonderful gift. A merino wool sweater she knit for her daughter but which her daughter couldn't wear because it wasn't comfortable on her skin. When our friends arrived at our house we were asked, "Would we like this sweater?"
Um, yes. We would love that sweater, thank you very much. Handknit and slightly felted it has a wonderfully warm and cozy tight knit and is perfectly purple, green and blue. I wish it fit me.
Having friends who knit and share is a real treat. And I have another surprise coming from this new friend of mine. Something I am bartering for soap. A little bit of blue and green for myself. To help keep my wrists warm. Can't wait to show you all.
