No fear and no age limits!
I have the world's coolest grandma. Seriously! How many grandma's do you know that would knit themselves a One Skein Wonder? Not too many I bet...but my grandma pulls it off with style and flare!! Look at her...
She looks great! Later that evening I was upstairs in the loft talking to my grandparents when my Grandpa (who's 84) spoke up and said, "I like that camisole that you made Sue." My grandma was like, "what? what did you say?" He repeated himself adding, "you know, that thing that you've been knitting on." I just had to laugh when she told him it was a shrug, not a camisole.
I'm not the only one that is getting some knitting done this week. Way to go grandma!! Congratulations on finishing another great project!
*and yes...that is a knitting needle in my mom's hair!!*
Yet another story that makes me want to be adopted into the fam.

Posted by: Ariane at August 18, 2005 09:27 AMWow, your grandma is so darn cool, a fact that I believe I've commented on before. It's so obvious where her granddaughter gets her flair. :)

Posted by: erika at August 18, 2005 10:13 AMshe is the cutest ever - she so rocks - Now I have to make and wear one too
Posted by: ines at August 18, 2005 10:56 AMAnd I thought that at 28 I was too old to pull off the shrug look. But your grandma looks great!
Posted by: katie at August 18, 2005 10:57 AMThat is oh so cool!!!
Posted by: sedie at August 18, 2005 10:58 AMThat is so cool that your grandma made a OSW. She's rockin' it. I love it and it looks great on her too. It's so funny that your granddad called it a camisole! I love it, so hilarious.
Posted by: Wanda at August 18, 2005 11:04 AMShe is totally rockin' the OSW!! The grandma and your mom are both beautiful!
Posted by: Carrie at August 18, 2005 11:22 AMYou have awesome relatives. :) SO cute!
Posted by: Stasia at August 18, 2005 03:28 PMit is nice that the osw is transgenerational! and it looks very cute on your grandma.
Posted by: marti at August 18, 2005 05:30 PMYou have such a cool grandma, that is totally awesome!
Posted by: Amber Lee at August 18, 2005 07:51 PMI love reading your blog and I just HAD to comment on how great your gram looks! I have seen lots of OSW out in blogland and I think your gram looks the BEST! in hers. Not everyone can pull off that look. Your Mom is too cute with that needle in her hair.
Posted by: emmy at August 18, 2005 09:20 PMThat is so cool! She is totally stylin'!
Posted by: Lolly at August 19, 2005 08:08 AMYour grandma is the coolest!!
Posted by: Deena at August 20, 2005 12:29 AMI think your Grandma looks better in HER one skein wonder than I do! :-O
Posted by: Laurie at August 22, 2005 06:25 PMVery adorable! I don't think my grandpa would know either a shrug or a camisole. :p
Posted by: Erica at August 23, 2005 07:15 AMIt looks so great on her! All the women in your family look young. You must have some good genes :)
Posted by: Vicki at August 23, 2005 05:34 PMi wish my grandmothers would rock the pink. they would look wonderful in it, but they prefer khaki. such a shame!
