Crochet memory 9: Watching an aunt crochet the wedding dress of an older cousin. It took ages but it looked beautiful on the day. My aunt would visit Gran in the afternoons and bring the dress with her and work away while chatting. She was very pleased about the coming wedding, because “a girl het age should be married”. The fact that her own marriage was the stuff of endless gossip and speculation wherever family members gathered did nothing to change her firm belief that every woman should do it as soon as possible.
