One thing I remember about my grandmother’s house was all of the beautiful crocheted blankets she had draping across the furniture. She was an avid crocheter that took her yarn and hook with her everywhere she went. I designed a simple modern granny square in honor of her, that showcased my lifelong love of black and white.
