There are those who accuse me of being too old to remember everything that I'm supposed to remember. This is a case of me being too young to remember something.
Did a newborn Lenora ever wear this? Unless a photo can be located, I may never know. If it did, I was too young for the memory to set within my neurons.
It is a classic crocheted newborn jacket and bonnet. The stitches are delicate and perfect. Time can not diminish the beauty of a loving hands creation.
Here is a close up of the stitches with the embroidery dancing down the stitches. Be sure to click on the photo to get a better look at the workwomanship. Note the even gauge. Check out the picots. Enjoy the little blessing of hand made baby wear.
I sure hope that I did wear this. It would be an honor to be a part of this family heirloom.

What a great story. I think finding your mother's crochet hook is priceless. Think of holding it as she did. I just love it
