Same Book, Same Dress

Twenty-eight years ago I picked up an instruction book that was published in 1970 by Columbia-Minerva and knitted my daughter a rippled jumper (dress).  She was a redhead so I chose chocolate brown, tan, and a golden yellow for the stripes.  I wasn’t really a great knitter but she wore it first as a dress and eventually as a vest.  Eleven years ago I pulled that same book out of the box and knitted the same dress for my first granddaughter (Evil One’s offspring).  Ten years ago the same book, the same dress and the second granddaughter.  Now math will tell you great granddaughters are in the future.  So I thought before I got too old I would make one more ripple jumper (dress) for a young lady who is only 10 months old and will be a year or so before she can wear it.  This one is persimmon, pink and white. But every time I pick it up to work on it I see a little redheaded girl who will be 31 soon. Happy Birthday Cyn!!!!

I was 77-years-old on February 22 and I'm amazed to see it. Mother of two sons and one daughter (Bloggers SEB and Cindyisms are two of them). Grandmother of three. Retired after 29 years+ at Michigan Bell Telephone and ten+ years with The Oakland Press. I was active with the telephone company union and a Dale Carnegie graduate. I work at crocheting, knitting, making ornaments, and other projects. With my husband I can 300 or 400 half pints of jam, chutney, plus cabbage relish, pickled beets and cinnamon fruit every summer to give away. I was clown doing parades, parties, and picnics for about 15 years. My other passions are music from the 50s through the 70s, reading, and of course blogging!
