Love is 'like this only' !!!

 Love is 'like this only' !!! 😅

A few months ago, when I started on a new crochet pattern, in my favorite shades of blues, I had no specific intention or purpose in mind. Athough yarns, needles, and hooks is a any-season joyful engagement for me; crocheting during this pandemic season has been more of a 'breath-in-breath-out' therapeutic 'release' of sorts. The end product has been small amigurumi dolls, stoles, scarves, etc almost all 'taken' by near and dear ones 'virtually', to be claimed when we meet in person post pandemic scare!!

But this blue Throw grew to be special! In my mind and heart, it was meant to keep someone warm 💝 at his new base in a new country!! Without telling him, I continued working at it lovingly. But, it soon, quiet literally, grew HEAVY with emotion!!! Cozy and warm and very pretty....but a bit bulky! I very nearly gave up the possibility of him carrying it given the limited baggage allowance  he had. He'd seen me crochet the Throw everyday, inspecting and appreciating my skill,  and effort. But, you know these Millennials! These Gen Z kidz! What with so many 'super lightweight' warm clothing, thermal options in stores to choose from.....why would he lug this all the way, right? 

In any case, I hesitantly asked if he'd like to take it with him. And he said "Oh wow Ma, sure!! I'd love that!" 

And here it is. Pride of place in his new abode. Uses it everyday, keeping him warm 💝 That said, he still hasn't sent me a pic with it drapped over him!!! These Millennials,  I tell you......🥰
