It's even multigenerational with me. "There's the afghan my mom knit for as my wedding gift in 1969. And those crocheted potholders? Grandma made them for my hope chest when I was little because I loved the colors and the pansies pattern." My son, recently engaged, is getting married in a year. I'm digging through yarns for a beautiful bride's shawl . . . or an afghan . . . or ? This comfort to tying ourselves to tradition is primal . . . maybe even genetic. And it is a great comfort in this world. Yes Lea-Ann. It’s even multigenerational with me. “There’s the afghan my mom knit for as my wedding gift in 1969. And those crocheted potholders?
