Do you have any heirloom pieces? Things made by the women who came before you?
I inherited this little collection from Mum, who inherited it from her mum, who inherited it from hers. Three generations of women who crocheted the most intricate lace!
Imagine the stories that go with this yarn/project stash.
There’s a beautiful old tin with chalk in it. A to***co tin of hand-cut crochet instructions. Antique steel hooks so tiny I really have no idea how they worked with them.
It's a little reminder about the sentimental value of heirloom pieces. How meaningful and beautiful it is to make something to pass down to someone else.
I want to make more pieces like these - although I'll be doing it with slightly bigger hooks. 😂
