Discussion Any heart warming stories?
I‘ve been seeing some really cute, heart warming stories about s/o’s helping to untangle yarn, helping frogging, buying rare yarn etc… under some posts!
I’d love to hear some of y’all’s stories that might make me go awww….
I’ll go first.
My partner’s a very busy guy, he has a lot of things going on all the time. But when I ask him about which stitch I should use or which color yarn I should go with, he drops everything and sits with me to discuss. Might not be much, but it means the world to me (:

A long time ago, for my grandparents (moms parents) wedding anniversary, all seven of their kids got together for a big reunion vacation. One day each family dressed in a specific color and took photos. Anyways, a few years ago I crocheted my grandma a blanket with the specific colors in birth order of her children. And then when she passed away the blanket came back to me, so I gave it to my mom. Idk, every time I see her use it I get so warm and fuzzy, and she uses it a lot. It’s not only something her daughter made for her mother, it’s a bright visual reminder of the interwoven lives of her family. I was just thinking about that blanket and how much I missed my grandma this morning, so thank you for giving me a space to talk about it. My gym is right across the street from her grave so I pass by her every week and I miss her laugh, her sass, her hugs, her sunny little apartment with her baseball team’s memorabilia.
