I kid you not; I have been working on this blanket for the last 10 months! Granted, I have done it in that "free time" I seldom make for myself. It has taken me way more than 400 hours of work. Of the many things I love, I love yarn and creating things with my hands.
Creativity is a space for healing, knowing oneself, and discovering our imagination's limitlessness.
This blanket is going to a miracle baby, the manifested hope of the family that dreamt of her. This blanket, in a way, is the grandmother's joy, the mother's illusion, and the anticipation of the community that receives her. For me, it's the possibility of sharing the joy of friendship, a way of giving love, and the healing that occurred in my life during the months I was making it. Therefore, the family receiving this blanket is receiving a concrete part of our story, our weaved love and the cheerfulness that accompanies our dreams.
