Hi Cyndy! I loved seeing what your mom had in her stash before she passed. I inherited my grandma’s crafting stash when she passed, and while I’m super grateful for it all, it can definitely be overwhelming to have a lot more projects on my hands. How are you handling all the extra projects? My grandma mostly crocheted, but she also did some plastic canvas projects, and it’s hard to find the time to work on all the things. I also saw your Popper penguin project when I got my magazine, and I’m excited to stitch it!
Hi Hannah! Sadly, as much as I might want to work on my Mom’s projects I really don’t. I also have a crochet project of hers from…ahem… 1976. It’s a poncho. I love the colors in it, (red, white and blue, go figure lol). I’ve even considered frogging it and making a blanket with the yarn but again, not likely to happen. It’s really lovely to inherit all these things but I think the reality is they were HER projects. I don’t have the same emotional investment (except maybe the crewel owl). I will continue to I corporate her things into my stash but it’s highly unlikely they’ll see much attention. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
@ I completely understand that! I suppose that’s something I should remind myself of so I don’t become completely overwhelmed. I have a knitting project my great grandma worked on before she passed away, and it has sat untouched for several decades now. I don’t know how to knit, but I do know how to cast on and off, so I was thinking of just casting it off to just get it out of my way. She used to make knitted pillows, and this project is the nearly complete front side of a pillow, so I could just finish it as is.
