Weekend at G-ma's part 4

My grandma has always liked to knit. When we were little, there were always baskets of yarn and she always had a knitting bag where ever she went. She would knit all of the cousins matching or coordinating sweaters. Sometimes they even had themes like Alice in Wonderland or the Wizard of Oz. Sometimes they were the same style and different colors. She is amazing! I know I did not appreciate her sweaters back then like I do now.
Lucky for us, G-ma has continued the tradition and still likes to knit the youngest generation of cousins sweaters! We love love love her sweaters! About 25 years ago she made everyone Christmas sweaters that had music notes on them and if you stood in age order (I think it was age order) it played The First Noel. Last year, g-ma did those same sweaters for the youngest cousin generation. Needless to say we were thrilled! G-ma gave us the sweaters while we were there and they did not disappoint us! They are beautiful and she did a perfect job of picking out the perfect color for each child. They are priceless!!!
