I have a blanket made by my Grammie Bartlett, made up of 88 crochet "grannie squares". Each square is a different colour, made with spare ends and scraps of yarn. I can't think of a better emblem of Mardi's resourcefulness, creativity, and generosity. Legend had it that you were gifted one of Grammie's crochet afghans when you moved away from home. I've moved 12 times in the past 15 years, but having her blanket across my lap always made each new place feel like home.
