The Story Behind the Crocheted Throws

When you fill your house with things that have meaning, your house becomes a home. I truly believe this and I also firmly believe hand crafted items have a special story behind them. I also believe the nicks and dings in things build character. Hand made is not perfect in terms of machine perfect but it is a perfect gift and a perfect addition to your home. Crocheted throws are one thing I really do treasure. Besides always being someone who loves to cuddle, a throw is a not only comforting but functional. Some of my earliest memories are of my Grandma crocheting. She was always busy and the rolls of yarn mesmerized me almost as much as those tiny crafting scissors she often wore around her neck so they were always in reach. She always seemed perfectly content and gifted her creations to family....and I would like to imagine some special friends too. She had a perseverance and commitment I strive to achieve. Her throws were BIG. I am talking blanket size. I tend to make lap throw...
