Flashback Fridays – Knitting Box

Father’s Day

It’s Father’s Day here tomorrow, so here’s my (belated) flashback friday, Father’s Day edition.

Dad carrying me and my cousin. I’m the one on the right.

I have very few photos of my dad, because he’s always the one taking the photos — making photos like this so precious. He loves photography, and as a baby I must have had hundreds of photos taken of me! It’s not until years later that the love of photography finally rubbed off on me. Perhaps having a baby makes everyone wants to be a photographer? 🙂

Happy Father’s Day, Dad!

And to the other Dad in my life… hubby! He’s a great dad too, and I love watching him play with Annette. I reckon Annette looks so much like him. In fact, I found an old photo of hubby as a baby, and guess what, looks so similar to Annette at the same age! Can you tell which one is which, in the photos below? 😉 Not too difficult to tell I guess, so no prizes, but you get bragging rights! 😉

Flashback friday

The theme this week is group photos. That’s me on the right, with two of my cousins. Our families were on holidays together when this was taken. I was almost two here I think.

Flashback friday

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.
