In this family drama, a tradition of crocheting shawls for weddings takes a surprising and contentious turn. Lena, a dedicated crocheter, has been crafting shawls as gifts for family members when they get married. The tradition began with the second-oldest brother’s wedding and has continued since. However, the story becomes complicated when Lena’s oldest brother, George, who has a history of abuse towards Lena, is preparing for his second marriage. Despite the strained relationship, Lena agrees to crochet a shawl for George’s fiancée and enlists OP’s help to deliver it to George at work, allowing her to avoid direct interaction.
A twist unfolds when George’s fiancée unexpectedly uninvites Lena from the wedding, citing space constraints but still inviting you. This sparks anger and frustration, as it appears that Lena was primarily invited to obtain a shawl, leading to OP’s decision to take back the crocheted gift. OP left a note for George, stating that neither OP nor Lena would attend the wedding.
