Andrew and the Giant Squid

Andrew and Allison and the Giant Squid
Photo-A-Day 2.0 – #00005

Allison has been knitting something special for Andrew for a few months now. It was a giant squid blanket that Andrew can step into and pull up around himself. It is adorable. She even made giant eyes and sewed them on to the squid. With each stitch she would turn to me and say, “I hope this boy never doubts how much I love him.” Sewing isn’t Allison’s thing but knitting is. she can knit anything and she is really good at it and particular about how she knits. I think that she would have made my grandmother Theresa quite proud of the progress she has made over the past 10+ years of knitting.

For Andrew’s part he was appropriately excited for his gift as you can see in the video below.
