Grandma's Been Knitting

Grandma's Been Knitting Diane Zylstra Hello! My name is Diane. I have learned to knit at a young age from my mother, who was a beautiful knitter. Please shop carefully.

It was something that we could enjoy doing together. I continued to knit, a little, but as we all know there is less free time when you work and have a family. It wasn't until I retired that my children encouraged me to knit and share these handmade items. (I think they were afraid that I would get bored)

When I knit, I take pride in what I have made. There is a lot of love stitched into every it

em. Ask a lot of questions. Ask for more pictures of the item(s) you are considering. I will not accept any returns because you disliked an item or changed your mind. Arranged pick up can be made locally. Shipping costs will be quoted when I receive your mailing address. Please contact me prior to making a payment towards any item so that I can quote you on the shipping amount. I recommend that you always insure your items, as Grandma's Been Knitting is not responsible for loss or damage.

How adorable is my little model James? He is our niece’s son. Sporting this hat home from the hospital he received a lot of ooo’s and aww’s from everyone he met. Okay, probably not from the hat.
Made with Superwash Baby Merino wool for natural warmth and easy wash.

Cold weather is a wonderful opportunity to knit a blanket, and this one is finished just in time as we eagerly await the arrival of another grandchild.
I made this blanket with extra fine Merino wool.

The T’ween size is the perfect fit.
