Leah's great-grandmother Bernice is called Nana by Leah. Nana is a knitting machine. She had many beautifully knitted sweaters for Leah over the last 4 years. Leah's Aunt Lindsay has taken up knitting and has turned into an exceptional knitter and has also knitted clothing for Leah. Leah's grandma Ruth has taken up crocheting again (she learned how years ago) and Leah has benefited from it as well. Ruth managed to pick it up again and before you knew it she was making sweaters, shawls & scraves in no time at all.
People may think making your own clothing is a thing of the past but Leah will tell you otherwise. I look forward to the day that Leah learns to knit and crochet. I have fond memories of my mother crocheting clothing and household items. I think it is pretty neat that Leah is developing the same memories with Matt's family.
Here she is wearing one of sweaters Nana made for her.
