This weeks treasure is a knitting pattern written in my grannies handwriting....
It makes these lovely little shoes ...... my mum and aunt wore them, me and my siblings all wore them, my children wore them and now I make them for grandies.....
Just thought I'd show you a picture of these eggs, given to me by a friend with chooks - methinks these chickens are in pain!

I love reading/seeing things that my grandparents and great-grandparent's wrote, it's such a personal thing. Great Tuesday treasure, thanks for sharing. toni xxx
Fiona I really love your nans knitting pattern it'd be great framed . Thanks so much for showing us playing along .
What a nice treasure , nice that your dear grandmother wrote it but also that it has had lots of use over the years , the little knitted socks are adorable.
I think those chooks are in pain!
How precious, you should laminate it to preserve it - very special that you're still making the darling booties! And yes, I think those poor hens are in pain, lol!
Some of the simplest things mean the most and are so often lost along the way. What a great treasure.
How wonderful to have something written by your grandmother. Those little booties are just too adorable.
Wow....love the new signature! Hang onto that pattern, it's lovely.
What a lovely treasure. You'll be able to pass it down to your grandchildren. Thanks for sharing :-)
Love the knitting pattern. Don't know anything about eggs. Charmaine
What a sweet pattern.
Thank god we aren't chooks!
How fabulous to have handwritten pattern as a piece of family history as well making lovely booties.
Poor chickens!
How cute are those shoes.....
don't ever part with them.....
First time to your blog
I live on the Gold Coast are you that end of Brisbane????
Bubz that is a real treasure...hang on to that one...
I have similar knitting patterns that are written in my Grandmothers hand. In some of her knitting books she had made notations of measurements, who she had knitted it for, etc. I also have her knitting needles that I knit with. Such treasures.
I love the little shoes - and the pattern is a treasure. I have a small notebook/journal my grandmother kept in 1954. I wouldn't take a million dollars for it! blessings, marlene
what a fab treasure! we have had eggs like that from our chickens before, they must be a bit painful to pass :-(
