My babies were dressed like this. Even today I think a handknitted layette looks lovely.
I know life is very busy these days and so it seems that most babies are dressed in jump or grow suits.
I also know that handwashing wool baby clothes can be tiresome, but most yarns these days can be washed in the gentle cycle of one's machine.
Another thing I have noticed is the young mothers these days seem to like deeper colours for their baby's clothes.
I suppose I am showing my age by preferring pastels... in the appropriate gender colours of course!
I guess I am old school!

I guess I'm old school too. It's too bad that young mothers today want their babies to look like tiny thugs instead of well-dressed, cut to cuddle babies - blues, yellows, and creams for boys & pinks, lavenders, yellows & whites for girls. I miss those days.
ReplyDeleteYes, Val it's sad that mothers sometimes dress their babies in tiny jeans and sneakers...they are only babies for such a short time and it seems that even so, their mothers are pushing them to dress precociously. I miss those days too. BTW, I too was a grey nomad in a fifth wheeler... love your blog!
