My mum knitted him a pair of swimming trunks, and the same thing happened. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. I think there is a ‘photo of dad in the trunks somewhere. I will have to see if I can find it. <br /><br />I did try to find about Graeff before doing the post but there’s not much information available, so I decided not to include it in the end. <br />barbaraannefishernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-48402133142382848712013-02-08T12:07:32.557+00:002013-02-08T12:07:32.557+00:00Thanks Donna, they are certainly precious to me.

Put it on, went swimming and as she came out of the water the knitted bathing costume just about fell off her body as the weight of the water in the wool stretched the costume to about three times the original size. I bet it was my Grandmother that knitted it for her, she was always knitting 'something'<br /><br />I have to admit I've never heard of Graeff. They really are lovely cards, a gorgeous little set you have there.Michelle Vintagecobwebhttp://www.vintagecobweb.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-77451570240161415372013-02-07T19:51:57.794+00:002013-02-07T19:51:57.794+00:00Oh, just way too cute!
