Every now and then, a donation comes in that feels like a time capsule. This week? A humble bag of yarn held something extra special—handwritten notes from a woman tracking her crochet projects in the 1980s. 😍
Tucked between skeins of pastel acrylic were scribbles about project timelines, color combos, and even the number of rows completed each day. It’s a peek into the past, where every stitch was logged with care and maybe a little bit of sass (shoutout to the one entry that simply says “frogged the whole thing... again.” Relatable!).
The best part? Among the yarn math and project lists was a half-note on a hangover cure. Yup, right there in the middle of a granny square breakdown. It stops mid-sentence, so we may never know the full recipe, Iconic.
It’s these little details—the human moments—that make crafting so special. Whether you’re halfway through your first scarf or you’ve got tubs of finished afghans, you’re part of a long line of makers leaving behind notes, stitches, and stories.
So here’s to yarn scraps, mystery cures, and the magic of forgotten lists. 🧶💫
