Happy and blessed weekend my dear fellow artisans. Today I am excited to share with you something that made me feel very happy this week. Here is what it is all about.
It is always very nice to receive gifts from our loved ones and I think we all value the gesture and the affection of the person much more than the gift itself. Well, I tell you that I just received an unexpected gift that made me very happy, both for the person who had the gesture and for the great treasure that he has given me. It is a collection of crochet and crochet magazines.
Mi mayor sorpresa fue cuando me entregó una cesta llena de revistas de tejido. Este obsequio inesperado me produjo mucha alegría porque me recordó mis inicios en el mundo del crochet.
I can't describe the great emotion I felt when one of my aunts, whom I hadn't seen for many years, gave me her collection of magazines in a beautiful basket. To put it in context, my aunt is a great weaver; in my youth she taught me to weave booties and other little things. A month ago her husband passed away, and her new reality led her to make the decision to go live with her children who have been out of the country for years. This week she came to visit us to say goodbye and spend a few days with her family. My biggest surprise was when she handed me a basket full of knitting magazines. This unexpected gift made me very happy because it reminded me of my beginnings in the world of crochet.
Nowadays it is not common to use magazines as a guide to make some kind of handicraft, in fact it is quite difficult to find a place where they sell them. Platforms like Pinterest and You tuBe have replaced the use of printed material. However, magazines bring graphics and patterns that are very helpful. In my aunt's collection I was able to find patterns for tablecloths, rugs, coats, dresses, bathing suits, baby clothes and many other beautiful things to knit.
I am very happy with this wonderful gift. I have already selected some projects that I would like to start, I just need to go out and buy some yarn and get to work. I was very happy to share my joy with you, receive a virtual hug. Greetings and blessings.
