Knit Picks

Since we've had children, every year in mid-December, my husband asks me, "Shouldn't we get a family picture taken for our holiday cards?" And every year, I reply that we should have thought of it in September.

Well, guess what?  It's September and I just might actually be prepared this year, thanks to Gina Rockenwagner of Gina Button and her beautiful handknit baby sweaters. These picture-perfect sweaters are fashioned from soft warm merino wool and the details like the vintage clover button on the teal sweater shown here are exquisite. Plus they're washable--hooray! Gina even does custom work if you've got something particular in mind. These are heirloom quality sweaters, destined to be worn by generations of well-dressed children.
 
And let's be honest, they're a huge improvement over those cutesie reindeer sweaters that end up in some family's holiday photos. Shudder. -Julie
