Ben aged 1 year
Ben was 30 last week. The outfit he is wearing didn't even last one year. I spent hours knitting the fairisle sweater in Shetland wool and it ended up shrunken and stiff from being thrown in a washing machine. With three little ones to look after, and paper nappies still a dream, handwashing woollens was not a priority.
I would have loved to still have the outfit to treasure and to put on to Ben's little one year old boy, but I have learned my lesson, that kid's clothes should be machine washable if you want them to last.
That's why I began Careloomkits, so that everyone can produce an heirloom, and knitwear that lasts for generations.
