***THIS IS NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT*** Crochet pattern PDF download only. Originally designed for Radicle Threads Magazine Issue 1 of Oct 2021.

This intermediate design celebrates life of both past and present. I recently learned about my ancestors, including their craftsmanship. One was a skilled crocheter, and although that skill was not passed down after her passing, I do believe her prowess resides in me somewhere being the only crocheter in this generation. And so, this design bears the name of my maternal and paternal great grandmothers. My ancestral history did not begin with them, but they are as far as we remember. This is an ode to the strength of their past and to the triumphs of our future.
