Knitted Treasures

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 and to her. On Thursday night, she threw me a beautiful baby shower. My sweet Grammy, Lucille Amelia’s namesake, 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.
