SPECIAL KNITS FROM MY MOM: Hand-knit wool sweaters
THE BABY SWEATERS: These sweaters are the best because they are easy to get on and off your baby and they fit for a long time. I had a baby in February 2015 and put him in a baby sweater by May with the sleeves rolled up. He was wearing the same sweater the following fall and winter. These sweaters are knit by my mother in South Hero, VT, and are 100% wool. My hope for the near future is to have baby sweaters available that are made from our own wool. Until then, I have the next best thing! These sweaters are also great because the colors are very gender neutral, which can be handy for gift giving. $40 each.
