Many years ago I knit a baby sweater. I have no idea exactly how long ago, maybe when I was 14. I put it away, thinking that maybe someday it would get used. Now I have a son who is almost nine months old, and he fits the sweater. It feels like there are worlds of difference between that young girl and the wife and mother I am now, but this sweater is a connection to that young girl and her hopes and dreams, and encourages me to look eagerly ahead to what the future will bring.
