This was my effort to demonstrate what the finished product would look like, as I had initially thought to use the wool to finish a blanket I was working on, but then decided on this rug instead.
Crocheting was something that I was taught at a young age by my artistic mum, who also happened to be a great cook.
What was also neat was that after I had taught the basic stitch to my child, my mum then showed her how to take it to the next level with an additional stitch. Now that's intergenerational knowledge sharing right there, and I know that special memories were shared in that moment.
I also remember, at a young age, teaching my step-grandmother, who was visiting from Samoa, to crochet. She later visited the USA in California and gathered a large amount of yarn, which she then took to Samoa to create bedspreads, chair covers, and numerous other items. I was proud of that, too...
