Kusum Prahladka
Crochet
She works with joyful patience — a flower made the way a flower grows, a little at a time, with no way of hurrying it.

Crochet is worked entirely by hand, motif by motif, before anything is joined to the cloth. It cannot be rushed and it cannot be machined — which is why every piece differs slightly from the last.
This is a description of the technique, not of Kusum. How she came to it, and what she would say about it, is hers to tell.
Her success, our strength.Narimade
Each piece carries the name of the woman whose hands finished it.
