Yesterday I heard the words that I thought would be absent from my ears until I someday had granddaughters: Can you teach me how to crochet? I almost pinched myself to make sure it was not a dream. My oldest boy, who is 9, was then immediately followed up by his 7-year-old brother asking enthusiastically, "Me too?" I guess the preponderance of yarn strewn about the couch had finally caught their attention.
Today is the day we start, and I am a bit apprehensive. Will they like it? Will they quit after realizing the amount of patience it takes? Will I actually get someone in my household to share in my obsession of crafty crap?
However it turns out - good, bad, or ugly - I will keep you updated!
My son A loves to crochet when we are sitting watching a movie or tv show. He made a hackesack for himself and we filled it with beans! it was great fun.
ReplyDeleteIf you get stumped there are some wonderful youtube videos that show crocheting steps up close it might help.
Best of luck!
