My grandma was a superb knitter. She knit this sweater for my mom when she was younger. She also knit a matching one for my dad. They were a set of ski sweaters, I recall my mom explaining. One of my sisters has my dad's version.
Today, I wore the sweater to work. It's made of wool so it's nice and toasty, perfect for a fall walk outside. Much of the charm of the sweater is in the details. My grandma had her own tag (Hand Knit and Fashioned by) and just look at those buttons.

That's so cool! I love the sweater and I love the story behind even more.
i've got Dad's and i can't believe he fit into it. it's pretty small but he was a fit young skier.
the classics never fail.
I've also got one that I believe I borrowed/stole from kel.
But I must say, you make her sweaters look fantastic!
Way to keep the legacy alive.
