Whenever I've dreamed about my wedding day, I hoped that I would be able to make something for it as a keepsake. Being aware of the old tradition of "Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue," when I saw the pattern for this garter in Interweave Crochet I thought it was perfect. It was small enough that the time commitment to make it was not too great, and I really enjoyed making it. I was a bit disappointed with it not having more gathers because the instructions weren't very clear about where I should measure on my leg and how many extra rows I would need to make. In all, though, I shall treasure it, and I hope if I have a daughter I can pass it on to her.
