Both your mom's fashions and the fact that she was such a fabulously nurturing mother to a little Barbie-dressing son. Your mom has a great color sense, and frankly she should be designing knitwear for some lucky company. Love this, Hrag.

My grandmother used to make very similar knitted creations for my dolls in the 1970s, and seeing your photo brought back the sense of excitement I had when opening her parcels: the knitted two-pieces, jackets with revers, waisted dresses, all of which were wrapped in tissue paper. I still have them. Just beautiful. And you're right: it's that feeling for beauty in the everyday as a child that leads on to an interest in art. I love this post, and the little knitted outfits.
