I’ve been following with great interest the flashback fridays that Angela started. It’s nice that old photos are not forgotten. I myself love looking at old photos, whether they’re of me, my parents, or someone else’s. I don’t have many of my childhood photos here, most of them are at my parents’ house, thousands of miles away. But I do have an album of my baby photos, which my mum brought here when Annette was born (for lets-see-who-the-baby-look-like purposes 😉 ) This week’s theme is ‘fancy dress’. I can’t find a photo of me in fancy dress, and since this is my first flashback friday posting, how about we just start from the very beginning? This is me and my mum, I was just a few months old here in 1979.
Looks like I had very yummy fingers!
And here’s something new that I’m working on. It’s the Little Majolica sweater from Interweave Knits Fall 2006. The yarn that I’m using is Merinos Fine 100%, by Moda Vera, in pale green and deep brown. I bought them for cheap (I think it was under $3 a ball) at Spotlight, but it’s nice and soft and comes in great colours.

don’t you look beautiful!!!
I think you have inspired me now to search out some photos. It’s lovely to look back isn’t it.
I just adore that knitting you are doing. You are so clever.
Great pic of you and your mum.
Love that jumper – looks so much nicer in the colours you have chosen than in the pattern pic! I bought some of that yarn from Spotlight too – it feels quite nice for such a reasonable price!
That’s a great pic of you and your Mum. I really adore the jumper, love the pattern – you’re very clever.

the knitting looks great and such a cute baby……..
What a cute photo, Claudine! You should post a photo of Annette at the same age and play spot the difference. Unfortunately, all my kiddie photos are at my mum’s, but I’m enjoying seeing everyone’s flashback fridays.
Can’t wait to see the new knitting project grow!
I just love looking at old pictures too, even when there are no memories attached.
I didn’t know that the Moda Vera range had a merino yarn, i will have to check it out! That sweater is looking amazing- love that pattern! :0)
The family photo is sweet!! I also love your knitting – the pattern is great but made even more so by your perfect knitting!
cute photo! I am loving ff…btw you are younger than me! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! born in 1979!!!!!
love the knitting…I’m itching to knit and got that same wool and its fabulous! looks beautiful and hard!
That is a great photo – it makes me laugh because my four month old sucks his fingers SO MUCH! Beautiful knitting – something I can’t do. Can’t wait to see the finished product
You look so cute in that photo with your mum. I love the color combinations of that sweater too, just so pretty. It seems you are very good with intarsia too.
I love baby photos! I agree with you about the moda vera yarn! I just finished a sweater out of it and it turned out great. too bad they wont get any more in stock 🙁
I have always admired the jumper you’re working on now – it will come out beautifully! All my old photos are also several thousand miles away… and I like to keep it that way! 🙂
What a cute photo of you and your mum.
Kind Regards,
Sonnja
You were a cutie pie 🙂
