People nowadays are into modern stuffs and you will seldom see a person whose into crocheting. As of now, I really find my hobby and skill as extinct...In our place or maybe in the entire country,its seldom to find someone like me whose fond of crocheting and people always gets amazed. Do you know a lot of people who are fond of this hobby or its just a hobby of your grandmother?

I have found that crochet and knitting are gaining popularity again. I love to crochet and have just recently started falling in love thread crochet and doilies. So much fun, and lots of free patterns available. I also enjoy making afghans, mittens, hats, and scarves for my grandkids and charities.

I thought it was also something only elderly folks did as well. There are many people who knit or crochet here and many groups online for advice and tips. I dunno perhaps since not many people do that there you could make a mint off your creations? Welcome to MyLot BTW :0)

I do it too! Or I try anyway, I am not very good at it I am afraid. I don't really know any other young people who do it though... But my Mom and my Grandma do!

I crochet and ironically my grandmother knits but does not really crochet. lol. I actually know quite a few people who do crochet. In fact, my sewing teacher crochet and a lot of knitters that I know do a little crocheting because sometimes you need to do a bit of crocheting to finish off a knitting project. You can even take crochet classes at the craft stores here. So someone must want to learn to crochet as well or they wouldn't offer the class.
