Izumi
On December 19th, my beautiful Granddaughter, Izumi was born. We were fortunate to arrive the next day and to stay near her for 2 weeks. Ours will be a long distance relationship, coupled with sharing photos and videos, Skype and visits as often as feasible.
Last Fall I had made 3 sweaters for her to give at the baby shower. One of them was this Elizabeth Zimmerman Baby Surprise sweater. This was knit with my handspun yarn from a few years ago. I love how the thick and thin yarn worked out on this. And the square buttons were the perfect touch.
So, on New Years day, my daughter-in-law and son brought Izumi to visit at our Air BnB, and she was sporting this sweater. I think that the colors look beautiful on her.
It has plenty of room to grow into, but worked perfectly on a 2 week old. It makes me happy to see her in it.
I know that every parent/grandparent thinks that their baby is beautiful, but she is just gorgeous, and has been since birth.
And here is the proud Papa.

Congratulations. What a beautiful baby girl. Have to say, judging by the gorgeous little pout she’s showing in the last photo, proud papa is going to be hard pressed to stand firm against her pleading as she gets older. I’m predicting he’ll be wrapped around her tiny, little finger before long ……. if he isn’t already that is 😀
