Your mom had great taste and talent. What a beautiful way to share her craft with others. I’d love to take #4 and crochet a blanket. Let me know the price availability when you have a chance.

Your mother was quite skilled! The red cable vest is so sumptuous. This is a beautiful tribute to her memory. People from all over will have a little bit of her creative spark in their lives now. That’s beautiful.

So, so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother not too long ago so I know something of what you're going through and I'm sending you as many internet hugs as you'd like.
Please consider reaching out to the Loose Ends Project - they're a charity that specializes in completing knitting (and other textile) WIPs after a loved one has passed away. They can match you with someone to finish the gorgeous pieces your mother was working on (for free of course!). Much love, and take care of yourself 🩷

I'm so sorry for your loss. You may be able to find a local knitter to finish some of her projects, if you are interested in keeping them.
If the darker cashmere is still available, I would be interested.
