I just love the idea behind this Danish website: mormor.nu! Mormor means grandmother in Danish and the youngest employee at mormor is 68. These grandmothers knit and crochet retro style baby and toddler clothes with the best materials (you won't find any mass produced acrylic baby sweaters here!) and best of all you can buy them online.
If my son was still a baby I would've loved to buy him something from these grannies because he doesn't have any grandparents at all, and all this stuff is handmade with love- each item even comes with a nametag with the signature of the grandma who knit or crocheted it! This is quoted from their website: "Mormor.nu has found some of the best Granmas to help us produce our baby-clothes. The older generation pass their special knowledge about housework and handycrafts on – mostly accompanied by a cup of coffee and vivid conversations across the table." What a nice philosophy.
I love that site ! What a nice idea that is. I wish they made adult stuff too, I'd like a sweater knitted by grandma too !

What a great business idea. And how cool is it to have something handmade of quality yarns. But it's so sad your son doesn't have a grandma and grandpa. mmmmm. You could always drop him off at a seniors home for the day. Worst case senario, he comes home spoiled rotten :)

Neat.
It means grandma in Swedish, too. :)
Morfar is grandpa in Swedish. Wonder if it's the same in Danish?
