Me and my family in hand-knitted jumpers. My mother-in-law has knitted them, so she wanted us to take a picture.

@tanjaostman wow! Nice. That's a lot of work! She's very talented!

@MaryMamuzich yes, it's a lot of work, and the thing is she has knitted at least a handful more of these to her children and grandchildren! I haven't knitted since we had knitting in school up til grade 9. In Finnish schools the students learn the basics of sewing and knitting. They knit scarves, socks and mittens...

@tanjaostman I tried to learn a few years ago. I was told it was a relaxing thing to do.... My shoulders were so tense my head started hurting! I did finish a scarf - it was perfect for my granddaughters Barbie doll!! Never picked up the needles again! I admire those that can actually make something from a ball of wool!

@MaryMamuzich I totally agree with you! 😀 Excuse me for laughing, but it sounded funny that the scarf was perfect.... for a Barbie doll! Sound like my skills! And you are right, it's not good for the shoulders. It wouldn't be a great hobby for me, since I sit so much by the computer. It gives me muscle tensions. I need to move my whole body and exercise in my spare time.

@tanjaostman never apologize for laughing! Especially at me! I always laugh at myself. I'm the youngest of 8 children- we all have tough thick skin. My dad was a funny jokester.

@tanjaostman

@tanjaostman , really lovely, amazing artisan your mother- in - law!
