What did Grandma knit for you?

My Nana knitted me and my sister swimming costumes once. They stretched when they were wet! Only wore them the once

Just about everything. Jumpers, Cardigans, dolls clothes, baby clothes for my children. She was a wonderful knitter, who taught me and my mother, very much regret that RH prevents me from knitting or crocheting now.

Sorry - DD1! Many years ago.

My Mum knitted DGD1 a pram set which is now worn by a baby doll.

My mother’s mother didn’t knit. Dad’s mum did though, but very badly! I have a memory of when I was about five and she was knitting me a hideous green cardigan. She had lost some of the stitches and there were unintentional holes here and there. We were in hysterics!

My granny knitted clothes for my doll- I still have a few, about 63 years later! I can remember her sitting in a rocking chair, knitting me a very long scarf, which I had for years.

One Granny died years before I was born and Grandma died when I was four so I have no idea.
My Mum was a great knitter for as long as she was able and we all had Aran jumpers, the little ones had matching hats too.

Every autumn Grandma would knit me a new hat for winter. It was always a loopy design in the most disgusting shade of green. I had to wear it all through winter and wear the previous year's to sleep in.

Did your Grandma knit you things?

I had that very same hat! Knitted by my mum. It was baby pink!

Absolutely nothing.
German Oma did wonderful embroidery and craft work but I have no recollection of her ever knitting anything and my Scottish Granny could barely sew on a button!

Nope neither of my Grans knitted that I remember but my Mum did, she knitted school cardies for all of us.

Gran knitted for us all in strict rotation; always a cardigan; quite plain but usually with random buttons of whatever she had in the button tin. She also made dresses for us and I can remember all of the ones that I had, especially the cotton summer dress with letters of the alphabet on it.

pollyperkins my much-loved childhood golly lives in the base of my ottoman bed with my teddy bear ?

No, strangely enough ( for that era) neither of my Grandmas ever knitted anything at all.I feel hard done by now.?

Yes, I had a Granny who knitted and a Gran who sewed, and a mother who did both. We always got an Aran for our summer holidays to go with the ski pants and anorak. No going abroad in those days, we went to the Hebrides.
We had lots of knitted stuff, but it's the Arans I remember most.

My grandma made me a golliwog for my third birthday. I loved him and took him to bed with me for years and it’s the only toy I kept. My family now all deeply disapprove of him (racist apparently) and I have to hide him from the grandchildren.

My grandma knitted me a hippo who I've still got. His name is Morton after my Grandfather Les. He must be in a cupboard upstairs somewhere. I'll have to find him now.

Yes my nan use to knit me knee length wool socks. They had elastic threaded through the top to stop them falling down and it would cut into my legs as always too tight!!!
