Following on from my post the other day about how I have finally learned to crochet, not only have I learned myself, at last, but I have also managed to teach both girls as well! After all these years!
I am feeling ridiculously pleased about it, I’ve even got a piece of work in my pocket just in case I bump into a friend I can show it to – how sad is that? And now I’m going to show you as well : )
So now we are on a roll, making flowers for hair bands, squares to join into various things – I’m going to try some bunting next!

Those are pretty. What else can be made from crocheting? Bags?

I learned to crochet one of the times i tried to quit smoking. I did not stop then, but I made some beautiful bedspreads for everyone. I understand your pride

It's very beautiful, I remember my mother and grandmother do a lot of those in the 60s, our old house in Manila had crochet curtains

I really love the colors of the first granny! You can make so many things out of granny squares and not just an afghan.

That is wonderful. I can crochet some basic stitches and have crocheted a basic blanket.

Crocheting was the in thing with the girls when I was in grade school. Since I have close friends with female classmates they taught me how to crochet.

Very clever. I think my mum could crochet. My grand mother was an excellent seamstress a good all rounder really. My mother was pretty hopeless at sewing we used to plead with her never to sew our clothes but wait for grandmother to do it as the repair would be invisible whereas my mum only knew one stitch. Blanket stitch. (Says it all really doesn't it) Well done to you and yes be proud to show it off to whoever you want.

Thank you! I can knit as well - nothing fancy but ok with the usual stitches - and sew. I used to make a lot of my clothes when I was younger with more time and less money, but not so much now that charity shops have such good stuff and are so much more common and socially acceptable. But who knows what Brexit will bring, we might all be forced back to 'make do and mend'!

Nice hobby or are you doing it for business? Very artistic design...

Well done, this is just the beginning of the fun. I have a great book of crocheted hats and I have made tons over the years. I taught a couple of my grandkids to crochet, one a boy and one a girl.
