Description
I have many pieces of crochet work from my maternal grandmother, all of which revisit memories of me at three years old, sitting on her bed, where she was confined because of crippling septic arthritis. She made gifts for friends--tablecloths, intricate bedspreads, and doilies. She never let her disability hold her back. When I see her stitches, I remember a grandmother who left a legacy without even knowing it, and even though she passed away when I was just four years old, I think of her often.
