A comment left on SouleMama's recent post about a well loved baby sweater and recipe for brocoli soup:

The sweater is precious! I'm attempting to learn how to knit for the very reason you just shared. There is a heritage and love that goes into the clothes that are made by hand. Hopefully I'll grasp the method soon."

I love the part I put in bold. That expresses it well. I've talked before about how I love that a lot of the kids' toys and clothes have a story behind them. I look at a shirt that Jacob wears that two boys wore before him as well! It brings back happy memories. I even have a couple dresses that I wore when I was a little girl that Leanna's worn as well.
