Name: Tee Subject: taking the time to do ur project Comment: hey yall i started a baby blanket for my cousin almost a week ago. I would most of the time take it with me to school so i could pass the time doing it and most of my teachers didnt mind me doing it. i think that crocheting keeps me from getting bored in class and pass out! ;-) (some of them wants me to make something for them) Name: Larry Subject: 4-Month project Comment: I started Crocheting for a project I had to do for school. I didn't like it at first, but when i finished i loved it so i hope i can do much harder projects instead of granny stitch. Name: Maria Subject: crochet Comment: i always wanted to crochet but never had the time to learn. I am now 55 years old and went into the interned and printed instructions on how to. Took some time and lots of patience and now I cannot put it down. I have crocheted wonderful things! Name: Mary Subject: crochet is cool Comment: I learned to knit and crochet when I was a girl, but as an adult I got busy with other things. I took crochet up again about three years ago because some of my coworkers were into it. Now my MIL is hooked too. I like the variety that crochet offers. It is such a cool craft, and so easy to make things for family, friends, and charity. Name: Hannah Subject: crochet Comment: Hy! I have been crocheting since I was 8 and I will be 15 soon! I LOVE to crochet it is very addicting. I have crocheted tons of smaller items but never a sweater or an afghan. I am also a big knitter. I have knitted a sweater and am working on a vest. I love to crochet, but have found that knitting uses less yarn. I like to do either one. Name: Kindra Subject: Crochet Comment: I am 15 and have been crocheting for about 2 years now. My grandma taught me and now I'm addicted! I love to make afghans and can sit and just look at my pattern books for hours! This site has been a great source for beautiful afghan patterns! Name: Gloria Subject: Crochet Comment: I have always admired my Great Grandmother's crochet from a very young age. I have now inherited her Minnesota State Fair Blue Ribbon Crochet Bedspread...very Beautiful with popcorn stich and Heavy!!and many doileys. After a difficult divorce in 1998 I learned to crochet from a co-worker during breaktimes. It was very difficult at first then it clicked.. I have made hundreds of doileys, some curtains, filet names and a tablecloth!!! Three years ago I met and fell in love with a wonderful man with the last Name of Doyle!! He is currently deployed for a year in Kuaitt. So Guess what I do with my time!!! CROCHET!!! I just finished an absolutely beautiful one for spring with 18 tulips all the way around!! Thanks for Your Site!! Name: Gracie Subject: crochet Comment: I am 11 years old and I learned to crochet about a year or two ago. I am addicted! Crocheting is so cool, and you can be really creative. I have made several scarves, hats, doll clothes, and I am working on a lap warmer. I am teaching two of my sisters and some friends this awesome craft. And if you think crocheting is for Grannies, you're wrong! Name: Sami Subject: Young and Crocheting Comment: I learned to crochet, like all of the rest on this page, when I was very young, maybe about 4 or 5. I am now 16, and now all of my friends want what I make! My grandmother who helped to teach me, passed away last year, and left me many many many skeins of yarn. I now have almost a closet full of yarn. For this past Christmas, I made all my great-aunts afghans. They nearly cried! I take pride in my skill of knowing how to crochet, and everyone who is interested should learn how. Name: Mckenzzie Subject: C to the rochet Comment: I Love to crochet its the best thing of all times. My Grandmother tought me when I was about 5 years old and listen to this I'm turning 73. Its given me a life experience thank you crochet for being apart of my life! Name: Queen Williams Subject: crocheting Comment: I was recently reintroduced to crocheting by a very kind friend at work. I only wish I had started earlier. It is fun, relaxing, and very rewarding. Several ladies at my job are now crocheting again or for the first time. Everybody is excited and so happy to share what they are making. This has been so fullfilling for me. I am becoming addicted to the craft, but I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing. Name: Becky Subject: 5/2/06 Comment: im 13 and me mum taught me how to crochet 2 days ago and now i have made a blanket already! i reackon its really cool because you can make anything you like. i reackon parents should teach their children how to croceht or knit or latch hook rug making, ive been taught all of these in just 2 days, i bet your children could do to! Name: Mary Ann Mendel Subject: quiet time Comment: I listen to the audio books from the library while crocheting--very relaxing. Two years ago I got grand champion in crocheting at our county fair. I really believe listening to the books helped me relax and keep my stitch count. Name: Lori Subject: Teaching my Daughters Comment: I am 35 years old and have 3 daughters I learned how to crochet last year and began teaching my daughters, now we sit and make hats,scarves, afgans and hopefully soon sweaters. My daughters are 16/14/13 I think that everyone should teach their daughters how to do creative things with their hands it keeps them out of trouble Name: Ginger Subject: Boys who crochet Comment: I submitted earlier, mentioning I was going to teach teenagers (boys) to crochet. These kids are in group homes, some are troubled, some had troubled homes. They love to crochet! They go through $50 yarn at least once a month! My boys refuse to read patterns, but create anything once seen, and love huge projects, like blankets with 2-3 strands together. It is wonderful therapy for them, and their enthusiasm is wonderful. I love bringing something to them, a new stitch, new yarn, and I love all the creativity it has sparked in me. Teach someone to crochet, it will be with them forever!
