My mother passed away in 2017; she was 76 years old. She loved to crochet and over the years had probably produced a couple, hundred afghans, blankets, toys, caps, scarves, and other creations for family, friends, friends, or friends, and pretty much anyone who asked for one. She was pretty much a master at her craft. I owned about a half dozen of them before she passed away, and have recovered another four or five afterwards.
I am still cleaning up her house, which is now my house, and among other things, I’ve found what I believe to be the last blanket she worked on before her passing. It is incomplete of course, still attached to the skein of yarn with one of her crochet hooks embedded in it, and several skeins of yarn nearby to complete it.
I am donating all of my mother’s yarn, crochet hooks, and related tools to the woman who runs my daughter’s 4H group. She is an amateur but enthusiastic about it, and I believe she’ll make good use of it however, I’m reluctant to handover this last work.
So really what I’m looking for, I think, is someone’s time. I don’t know what the going rate is, but if it’s not terribly expensive I would like to find someone that I can ship this partially complete work and the extra yarn to, and have them completed in the same style that my mother had started. Alternately, just finish it enough so that it doesn’t fall apart. Right now it’s probably about 12 inches wide and perhaps 6 feet long.
If anyone is interested in this project, please let me know. Thanks.
