Olivia, my oldest daughter, modeling her knit socks. These are the first socks I knit for anyone larger than a baby.
Here is Olivia modeling her sweater coat in 2005. I bought some beautiful yarn at the local craft store, and before wear, the coat was gorgeous. However, I would definitely purchase a higher quality yarn for that pattern - Olivia wore it so much but it didn't take long to look ratty. This was early on in my knitting career, so it was a valuable lesson.
