Do you remember learning how to knit or crochet? When you’ve been doing something for a long time, it’s hard to remember where you started and how difficult it was. That’s certainly the case for me – I’d rather forget the frustration and frogging. 🙂
A woman named Dayna has started posting about a series of challenges that her family and friends have given her to help her learn new things and get outside her comfort zone. Aside from being a great idea in general (who hasn’t made a “bucket list” at one point?) I love that one of her challenges was to learn how to crochet from her mom.
It seems that, more often than not, this type of craft is passed down from one generation to another. It just makes the hobby that much more meaningful. Who taught you to knit or crochet?
I learned to knit from my german housemother in nurses training in Omaha. I learned to crochet from a co-worker in the ER in the Boone Co. Hospital.
getting started CAN be hard but it’s so worth it. I LOVE to knit and crochet! miss having my mom to knit with though. 😦
Isn’t it wonderful how hobbies can remind us of good times with the ones we love?
