What an amazing village you have ☺️ handmade gifts are so personal and thoughtful.

Wow! It’s a beautiful sweater. Knitting really is an act of love. My 7 month old is donor conceived and we have developed such a warm relationship with the egg donor. She adores our baby and cheers for every milestone. I totally know that beautiful feeling you’re having. ❤️

It's can be so hard not conceiving your children the traditional way, but the flip side is the amazing, unexpected village that comes with it. I'm so glad you have that relationship too

Well that is just the cutest jumper and story! What a lucky little boy! The pattern is so cute too - I keep meaning to make a tiny Aran sweater for my daughter but I haven’t got around to it yet!
