What Is It?
What is this? Are you curious?
My--uh, okay. My cat is not curious. Nobody is curious about this.
But I wanted to dig this out and show it to you anyway. For multiple reasons. The first is that my mom made this for me about mumble mumble years ago, when I was about six or so.
It's a crocheted cape made from a bunch of granny squares and lined with yellow satin. I actually remember when she made this. It was just before Easter and I ended up wearing it for the first time with my Easter ensemble. (White gloves. I effin love white gloves to this day.)
She was a very fast crocheter and made this pretty quickly. Or at least, it seemed quick to me. She could have been working on it all night, as far as I know. My mom was one of those people that slept about 4 hours a night and had more energy than others who slept a full 8.
I have not inherited this trait.
This cape is wool and super warm, btw. (It's actually felted a little bit in places)
I kept this cape as I got older, thinking I would pass it down to my daughter, etc. I don't know. I'm not usually sentimental like that.
But, it must be sentimentality, because this cape has definitely seen some better days. I mentioned the felting. I guess I should mention this used to be cream and yellow. (Not the yellow and yellow-ish it is now.) Still, I like it. And I will be keeping it.
The second reason I wanted to show this to you was because, as I mentioned before the virus hit and I had to go offline, I am an empty nester now. And I've been thinking about my mom, trying to think whether she felt as depressed about it as I do.
No.The answer is no. I was the third child. I think her thoughts were more like. "Whew! One more to go!"
But I am a little depressed about it. And I really haven't knitted anything in a couple of weeks. So I didn't have anything new for "What Is It?" Day.
And, lastly, I am only back online today, and with a workaround solution, not a fix. So I'm not sure what I can actually do, blogwise.
Ah, the excitement of my everyday life...
