It says the biggest size fits 3-9 months, but the same designer also has a <a href="http://curiousknitter.blogspot.com/2010/04/baby-boobies.html" rel="nofollow">toddler version</a> on her blog.<br /><br />Hope that helps!

Well, it is very nice to finally [virtually] meet you!<br /><br />I know how it goes, holding on to stuff not because you need it, but because you can't bear to let it go yet. I hope knowing that the recipient has enjoyed them brings some comfort.

Thankfully, I did manage to share it with the family though.<br /><br />I am SO glad Brenda found the perfect person to share the books with. They languished in my closet for too long, me thinking one day I would tackle a knitting project. I'm sure the wackier of those 70's patterns were some Mom had made for me. She loved the classics, I did not and then had a daughter who loves them. :o) I do have found memories of a deep blue sportsman wool pullover.... <br /><br />Oh, and tatting was torture!<br /><br />Thank you for enjoying the magazines and thank you Brenda for giving them to Carissa!!<br /><br />musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02821970567486235710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-7139809595322940462013-09-13T13:09:14.867-05:002013-09-13T13:09:14.867-05:00Oh, and you're not the only one who struggled ...Oh, and you're not the only one who struggled with tatting. :)Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109477116381179098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-89290880128205251212013-09-13T13:08:52.871-05:002013-09-13T13:08:52.871-05:00I am loving all these stories from Edna's fami...I am loving all these stories from Edna's family!

I knit my first sweater in 4th grade with Mom's help. I too have a stack of books. Remember Dad wearing those socks too.
