My mom passed away 2 years ago and was an avid knitter/crocheter. She taught me at a very young age how to knit and crochet. It was a great thing for the 2 of us to do together. It was a time to talk about school and problems that I have been having. She was an excellent listener and at times could really fix the issue at hand.
When she passed, there were bags and bags of unused yarn in her craft room. Some projects she had started but got tired of. Even some projects that she bought the yarn for and left in the store bags with the project in mind attached to the bags. Well, when she passed, my father went to my sister that knits and crochets all the time and gave all the yarn to her. It was fantastic! My sister absolutely cried when my dad did this for her. You see, my sister is 19 years older than me and was already married and out of the house when I was born.
I will be seeing her this weekend. I wonder if any of the projects that mom had started will now be completed by my sister. Every project that my mom had a person in mind. Usually with a name attached to the bag. That would be some gift, wouldn't it? To get a warm blanket from someone that finished a project started by grandma? I think it would be.
Well, I am having so much fun making these hats. I have not much yarn left, so maybe my sister will let me take a look at some of the yarns that were my moms. Otherwise, off to the store I will go. I really like the soft textures that are great for new babies.
