My daughter wanted a colourful throw for her bed i'm so happy that she requested one of these as i had always wanted one as a child. I imagined that it would be something i would cherish and love and pass it on to my kids.It didn't happen my mom didn't knit or crochet but it will happen now as my daughter is just like me.She's very sentimental and she appreciates the love and time put in to this hierloom. i'm so honoured that she wanted me to make one for her. Long may it keep us warm.
