Kaki’s Style, no. 8

by Ashley Weeks Cart

This weekend, Momar and Auntie Kimmy drove out for a visit. Momar came bearing gifts. As always. These gifts included dresses and clothing from not only my childhood, but hers. The sweater and booties pictured on Courtland were my uncle’s, my mom’s brother. Pretty crazy, huh? What’s even crazier is that when my uncle was Courtland’s age, my mom’s family was living in Indonesia. Which means that this little sweater made it back across the Pacific and into my Grammy and then mother’s attic to then be bestowed upon my second born over a half century later.

Courtland’s impressed. You should be, too.

I think that you can all see where my knitting obsession originates. This is the work of my Grammy, the woman who taught me to knit as a child. It’s genetic.

The knit cowboy booties are particularly nausea-inducing in their cuteness. Giddy up!
