And I got to enjoy your dad's soccer story again -- love how "keen" he was on the game. I don't remember every having a wool knitted swim suit, but I do remember my husband's grandmother knitting some pretty ugly looking "soakers" to be worn over cloth diapers. Thankfully, other means of diaper covers were available!

I don't remember having an itchy wool bathing suit. I probably had one, but the first bathing suit I recall was a one-piece light green satiny thing gathered up the center. I loved that suit till one day, swimming in the local public pool, the gathers came undone & the suit hung wide open on me. I think I was about 11 then & was mortified.La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-84396034459093828822013-11-28T16:37:58.967+00:002013-11-28T16:37:58.967+00:00Full marks for a triple theme post!
