Nifty Knitting (Under construction)

Nearly everyone (except Loren in our household knows how to knit. Liza's specialty is socks big and small as you can see. Below, in what we hope to be an ever increasing gallery you see one pair of "real" socks made by mom and a little decorative one with genuine shell buttons for embellishment. Liza also does quite a few hats. She is currently working on making one for each of the children, the first two are below.

My Dad is a very gifted tinsmith, and the children and I enjoy "working" in his tinshop. Here are a few of the items that we have created under his instruction. Interested in more, check out his webpage: http://www.thecooperstowntinkershop.com/
