Mother's Day 2019

I can't help but wonder how this would have played out if my Mother were still on earth.

My new Crochet design is published,  and available for instant download here

It is also being offered as a Crochet-A-Long in my Ravelry shop.

If my Mother were here,  I would invite her to participate, but I would have to send her a copy of the pattern by snail mail.  I don't think she would have been able to navigate Facebook.

I thought of her as I set up the special though, because we had great fun working the same crochet pattern together. Once each month, as we finished our grocery shopping,we would flip through  magazines at the checkout counter to find one we both liked, then stop at the variety store for yarn before heading the 15 miles home.
We always concocted a challenge as we made the drive. Fastest Completion,  Least number of frogging sessions,  Biggest hits with friends,  there was always something.  One time, with a Slipper pattern,  it was Who could make the most pairs in 10 days.  So much fun,  and a tradition so missed.

Today, in honor of the memory of Mother, I am offering a deal.  Join my CAL, and invite a friend to join you. No additional cost. You just have to declare the friend when you request to join the group.

Will you invite your Mother to join you? Is this sort of tradition something you want to adopt?  Mothers are amazing. They will never be perfect, but there is something so darn close, when you have special things you share.

Happy Mother's Day everyone.
