Knitted Clothes

This is my niece in 1973 wearing a dress I knitted for her.  Many crocheted and knitted clothes were made for my niece, nephew, the children of friends and myself.  While at Teachers College I made a bit of extra money knitting and crocheting clothes for fellow students.  So what happened to  knitting?  Once I got a designated sewing space and had my machine and overlocker set up all the time those small gaps between activities that used to be filled with crocheting or knitting became filled with sewing!    Mmmmm - there is that basket with an almost finished jumper that was started in 1994 when we moved to Newcastle!  Perhaps it might see the light of day some time in the future!!
