2012-02-22 23:50:19 | Michaela RMy mom knitted me my favorite hat for this winter. She usually knits me stuff, but this one is by far my favorite. I've worn it more than any of my other hats already.

2012-02-23 07:07:58 | Courtney - MrsMy favorite piece of knitwear was a sweater from my grandma. I loved it but it was wool and really scratchy so I usually just admired it from the closet.

2012-02-24 08:57:48 | molly3My mom was a fantastic knitter—she taught me to knit too but I was never as good as she was. She did all the fancy stitches—fair isle, aran, any pattern or texture, no matter how complicated, all while hardly ever looking at her needles. She could knit a pair of baby booties while watching one movie on TV to give to her pregnant friends—she was just great. The best thing I ever knitted was a scarf for my 15-year-old niece (it took me forever and was a simple pattern). It came out great and my niece loved it but it's nothing like the aran sweater my mom made for me when I was in high school—a beautiful classic that went with everything.

2012-02-28 10:14:15 | Katharine Davis - My favoriteMy favorite is a sweater my grandmother knitted for my brother. She knitted tons of wonderful sweaters for us as kids and my sister inherited the girls ones but I got this one surviving boy sweater (my brother was rough on clothes LOL) since I have boys and my youngest is no wearing it. It looks as good today as when it was made almost 40 years ago!
