Grandma’s knitting.

Letter from Judy to Grandma & Grandad 16 June 1975 –

Before I forget here are the children’s measurements. Juliet: underarm 18″, shoulder to lower edge22″, chest 27″. As you can see Juliet is still long and skinny. She says she’d like the colour to be a surprise, something bright and cheerful but not scarlet. Helen: underarm 15.5″, chest 24.5″, length 17″ she would like a scarlet cardigan. Fiona: underarm 12″, chest 23″, length 14″. Fiona would like a green cardigan – emerald or bottle I should think – she is the grubbiest little girl you have ever seen – the nearest tarmac or pavement is a long way away so you can imagine the amount of mud or dust the children collect – bright reddish brown mud !

All three of us wearing jumpers knitted by Grandma.

Letter from Juliet to Grandma & Grandad 16 Oct 1975 –

This is just a short note to say the jumpers have arrived. Thank you very much – they are a beautiful pick of colour and pattern. They arrived today and we put them on immediately. They are really warm and soft.
