my parents picked up her yarn last night and i started going through it this morning. i’m not done yet (there’s a lot; she spent most of her life knitting and crocheting) but i found a few projects that were very close to being done, like this doily
just wanted to share. i don’t really know what a lot of her other projects are but i’m going to try to repurpose them if i can. my mom suggested i make a memorial for her in some way. if you have any ideas as to how i could go about that i’d appreciate it; she made a lot of flat pieces and lace stuff
oooh yeah my mom suggested something like that (i think she went out to buy a frame to display the baby clothes my gma made for me)
i’ll bring it up to her when she gets back
looks like there are a lot of free doily patterns on ravelry (this was what i found when i searched) and i’m sure there are some on here too, just not as many to choose from yk
theres also this pattern from 1956 that i found tucked into the packaging of a skein; not sure if it’s really legible but i can try to transcribe it if it isn’t
that’s beautiful. I love the idea of framing them. If there are a lot of similar flat pieces, maybe you could sew them together to make a kind of tapestry?
