When I first learnt to crochet, I crocheted a lot of things –tea cosies (galore), placemats, coasters, pot holders, sweaters, ponchos, shawls, mittens, caps, booties and soft toys for my children.
I collected yarns for my projects. I couldn’t resist them. Many are still there in the huge trunk upstairs. While downsizing in 2012, the year my husband died, I didn’t have the heart to throw them away. Someday (I feel the day won’t ever come) I may use them.
Or maybe on day my children would empty the trunk (once I’m gone), and throw them away.

I gave away the things I made for the children long ago. Son reminds me time and again to clear what’s upstairs., but I never have time for it. What I’m afraid that they will say, “why didn’t she let go this junk?”

Yes, it’s hard to let go of things when
there are memories attached.

Mine went when we moved to the states. Came with 2 suitcases, and shipped over 3 tea chests of things we couldn’t part with.

The balls of wool are in Peshawar, not here with me.
