This piece was inspired by the true Matriarch of my family, my grandmother (and best friend) who taught me how to crochet some 20 years ago. She stood at 6 feet tall, always in a neat bowl cut and a handmade sweater. She bowed to no man, and taught the girls of our family to do the same. This particular piece is an ode, in few words but a lot of yarn, to one of the most influential women of my life.
