colorful

color!!! 💕💕

now that there's been some good progress made on my new set of scarves for the shop, i also decided to start making some new doilies! 

these doilies are special though... not only are they full of color, and quick to make, but these patterns are from a book that belonged to my late gramma.  she was the amazing woman that has made this entire crochet journey of mine possible.  teaching me at the age of 12 to crochet doilies and read crochet patterns, she suggested i sell them to my auntie's friends & coworkers, sparking my passion for crochet ✨.  although crocheting was set aside to raise my family and finish college, i picked it back up when going through a rough time, her passing. i think of it as my way to always keep her in my thoughts and to keep her legacy living for my family.  i am the owner of not only her crocheted doilies and blankets, but i also own the hooks she used to use.  and recently was given the only pattern book we managed to keep of hers.  these are treasures to me... 🥰

what is your crochet story??
