I just wanted to show you something my Grandma Briggs made for me in the late 1970's. I saw this crochet poncho in a magazine (unfortunately I didn't save the magazine or pattern) and I bought the supplies and my Grandmother made it for me. The butterfly is on the back of the poncho too! I had it hanging on the wall for a while, just to enjoy it. She did a great job. She passed away in 1992. She never would have dreamed her crochet work would one day be on the internet!
That's my mom's mom on the left (Grandma Briggs) and two of her sisters. I think this picture is so sweet. Look at their lovely hair and those dresses. I don't have the year of the photo, but Grandma Briggs was born in 1903 and she looks to be maybe 5 years old.
