This keeps my mind really busy and not thinking about the future operations that I am booked for. Never get a cold, flue - u name it, but since I am a twin (the younger one - she is 1/2 hr older - lol - age 57) I seem to get the major stuff. The good Lord does look after me, so I am glad it's not my dear sister that has to be operated on. Thank you so much once again. Do take my crochet work with me at all times. Name: Roslyn Subject: nice to see the younger crocheters Comment: I am "almost" 40 now and have been crocheting again for about 6 months. My mom taught me as a young girl. Never really made anything until the poncho craze again. Well anyway, I just wanted to say that I have visited your site before and never really read the above until now and it is nice to see the kids getting involved. I have a son who is 10 and is extremely interested in it, he even forgets about playstation (YEAH!). He loves to make scarves, they were great for him to learn. He is now working on a "fur" scarf for his aunt. I now have his twin brother showing an interest now as well, we're still in the beginning stages, but I really love it. Dad has them for sports and I have them with the crochet. I get a kick out of it and now my neighbors girls want to learn and call me with questions or will pop over for a quick lesson. I love it. Thanks for your time. Name: Rebecca Subject: Crochet Ponchos Comment: Thanks to your website I was able to find free patterns for ponchos I made for Christmas gifts to my friends and family. I made over a dozen ponchos, scarves, and shawls. Everyone was so pleased they placed orders for more!!! Name: Theresa Subject: crocheting scarfs Comment: I've been crocheting since I was 6 years old and I'm 45 now. A very dear elderly lady taught me and she made the most lovely doilies,doll dresses for the readers digest dolls, bedroom shoes, throws. This year I crocheted again for the first time in a number of years and it all came back so easily. I made scarfs and sold them in my husbands stylist shop for christmas. So, for all young ladies who are learning to crochet it will be something that will stay with you all your life. Name: Angela Subject: girl's poncho Comment: I just made a poncho for my 9 year old daughter. I had never really crochetted anything before, but my great grandmother had shown me how to make a granny square when I was young. I looked up the abbreviations, looked up how to do each stich and completed the whole thing in a few days. She loves it and I am so excited! Thanks for sharing the free pattern. Name: Jacky Subject: loving it Comment: I am 20 years old and have been crocheting for around 3 years. Since I'm the only person in my family who crochets, I have never seen anyone crochet, and this site really helped me to learn new stiches, and perfect old ones =). I recomend this site to all my friends who enjoy the things I make as gifts and want to make their own. It's great for someone just starting out, or someone looking for something new to try. Name: Jaime Subject: love this site! Comment: I just love this site. I'v been crocheting since I was about 8 (I'm 15 now) and love it. I come from a very crafty family so I know a little of everything, but crochet is really my thing. When I found this site the first placy went to is the hats, I really have a thing for hats, and I found some great ones.thanks! Name: Amy's Cats Subject: We helped mommy! Comment: Hi! We're having our mommy type this from our dictation. We just wanted to share our helpful hint. When you're starching a doily, especially a pretty white one, leave it on a nice, level surface so your kitties can lay on it to use their body heat to help it dry quicker. And fellow felines, don't be afraid of those pins, you can just bat them aside and let them fall on the floor. Everyone will love the new shapes those doilies take, and cat hair is a universal sign of love! Name: Pammy Subject: Newbie Comment: I just started crochet 3 days ago, and i love it already! i am making a scarf and it is, um, intersting! It isnt a straight line, but thats ok! It is still fun! Name: Mary Subject: crochet rocks Comment: I'm 15 and have been crocheting since i was seven. i recently started crochet again after taking a break. i didnt have any money and i had to get my awesome friend an awesome birthday present so i crused the net and found this site. i made an awesome granny square bag and struck a creative nerve in my school and friends. now several of my friends are learning to crochet, and so i started a crochet club. these free patterns are the best thanks. Name: Goldie R. Subject: I taught my mom how... Comment: I'm a 18 year old senior in high school and I've been crocheting for about three years now. After my first year of crocheting, my mother was very interested in it. She is 35 years old. I gave in and finally taught my mother how to crochet. Recently, I taught myself a new pattern for a hat and since then, I've been crocheting hats for everyone. My family & friends even want to pay me to make their friends hats. I sometimes feel like a 18 year old grandma, but I feel that my talent for fibers is well worth it. Name: Sue Subject: Hurray for free patterns Comment: Thanks to all who maintain this site and contribute free patterns. I am starting to crochet again after several years. My mom taught me when I was still in grade school. Now that ponchos are all the rage, I want to make one for my daughter. I use to have several that my grandmother made for me, but I no longer have them. I'm a busy working mom now, but I am motivated to start some new crochet projects. I also like to make doilies and small dolls. Happy crocheting everyone! Name: Diana Cofield Subject: Old Dog Comment: Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I just learned to crochet two years ago. I am 71 years young and still lovin' it. Love your website. Keep it up. Name: Patty Wong From California Subject: I did it so can you Comment: I want to say thank you for this wonderful web site. I just started to crochet a year ago and I love it. It's so much fun and when I'm done with my project it brings me great joy. It's the best thing I've ever learned. I use to see my mother in law crochet all the time and I never wanted to learn till one day I had my little boy and then I realized, wouldn't it be nice to be able to make my baby a nice blanket? That's when I started to learn. I'm very greatful for my mother in law to have had the time to teach me. Mom if you are reading this I would like to say thank you for teaching me and helping me not give up when I thought I would never learn. I got it and it's all becuase of you :) I love you always...
