Braggin' on Grandma

[Sue89]

My grandmother crocheted all her life. She passed away in '95, before I got interested in crochet, so I never got to talk to her about it. According to my mother, she could just look at something and immediately know the pattern. She was great at thread crochet. She'd make king-sized bedspreads, decorative pillows, toys, and all kinds of things. Years ago, when my grandfather told me that she had crocheted a table, I couldn't even imagine what he was talking about. On his next visit from Puerto Rico, he brought photos. Today I came across those old photos once again, and thought I'd share them with you. Have you ever seen anything like this? She actually crocheted a table! Two, to be exact. It still blows my mind.
