For…
Sounds like a bit of an odd name For a crochet pattern doesn’t it? But let me explain the idea behind my “madness.”
Coming up with names For my designs is always a problem For me. As a matter of fact, I hound my bestie, who names most of my crochet patterns. There are always those designs that just tell you what they want to be named, but there are always those that just will not tell you their names no matter how nicely you ask.
While I was working on this design, I had an idea to design a blanket For each of the women in my family and then to name that design after them, but naming a blanket Emily just seemed a bit bland. Emily’s what exactly? So, my brain continued to tick while I worked and, in the process, I thought to myself, “It’s funny how we always make things For other people and very seldom For ourselves.” It’s always For my mom or For a friend or For someone I work with. And that I think is one of the greatest joys of crochet, the love we put into something we make For someone else.
I have made mine For Emily, who was my great-grandmother.
