We dedicate this annual knit along to our mother / grandmother / great-grandmother, Betty. Her love, guidance, and generosity over the years is treasured and longed for. The “Violet” in Lucky Violet Color Co stems from the loving care Betty gave to African Violet plants, nurturing them into lovely plants with abundant, perfect blossoms. Our luxurious signature, custom cashmere blend “Betty” yarn base is named for her as well. See what we are dyeing on our Betty yarn base this month --> here.

Betty has advanced Alzheimer’s, a heartbreaking and heart-wrenching progression we have witnessed over the years, but she is content and very well cared for and much can be said for that.

To Betty and all of the mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers out there, we wish you love and blessings and many great memories to hold and share for as long as you possibly can. Knit this shawl for your own mother or grandmother, for yourself or for any mother whose love, patience, strength, and kindness you would love to honor through your fiber craftsmanship.
