Name: Deb Subject: iheartcrochet Comment: i just love to crochet! my mom was teaching me how to knit when i was really little and other sorts of crafts- but i sucked at them or didn't have the concentration to sit through a project. then, i think when i was 11, i found this old box of yarn, and needles and most importantly-HOOKS-under my bed, and i re-learnt the single crochet stitch i sort of already knew, and dc and all those beautiful sts, from this old book that is pretty much fallen apart. now i crochet all the time {i'm 13 almost 14 now} often with patterns from this site. yah gotta love tapestry crochet and the whole art in general. i even taught a friend to crochet, and am working on a second one now. so seriously, grab a hook.

I have never seen younger girls engage in this craft, that is why I am surprised and really admire them. Keep on crocheting, young ladies! Name: Kelly Subject: Thanks!

Name: chaya Subject: relax Comment: when you crochet make sure you are comfortable and not working too hard. if you feel you are working hard that is because you (may be) doing it wrong. Name: Vickie Subject: Crochet Comment: I have enjoyed these stories. My cousin taught me to crochet when I was little, while she was babysitting me. (Now that I'm grown, I realize she was trying to keep me out from underfoot..) Shell Stitch projects are my favorite. It is so comforting to work with soft yarn, and you can make so many useful and decorative things. Crocheting is a great way to "unwind" after a hectic day.

But think how nice it will be in the end. That will make you go faster, think it's easy, and love crochet. Name: Shana Subject: Decision Crochet Comment: So, I recently taught myself to crochet over the months. I decided today I want to crochet for charity! Wish me luck, I wanna see if I can do this. I'm particualrly wanting to crochet for premature babies, considering I was one at 1 lb. 9 oz. I'm now 19. I also want to crochet for cancer patients and children. My mom's mom died of a type of cancer at 26. And, I just want to help people! Name: cathy Subject: love to crochet Comment: when I was about 9 I watched a neighbor lady crocheting and seen all the things she had made and wanted to learn. but I was afraid to ask. but I know now she probably would have love to shown me how. now that I am older I have taught myself. and I still have a lot to learn. but I love making the things I have made Name: shay Subject: taking up crochet Comment: my older sis started to make a blanket out of small squares. one day she showed me the websites she used (knitting pattern central) and i found cpc. then i went on eBay and found a set of 14 hooks. i used to crochet when i was 7 (im now 12) but i lost my hook. now im making a bookmark for my year 6 teacher, mr smith, and i am starting a blanket of my own out of samples of different stitches. shay Name: Carol Subject: crocheting for music Comment: Hi, everyone - I have picked up crochet again after putting it down a few years ago. I'm a Native American flutist and singer, and am excited because I have developed my own pattern for making flute bags! They are one piece - no seams, crocheted in a spiral, with ties or flaps, and beads, fringe, etc. can be added for decoration. I've sold a couple already and plan to sell more, and this has given me the courage/confidence to expand into hats and other bags. I love to crochet so much - Mom taught me. Now I can combine music and crochet! Now to think of something to make for my horse :) Name: Marilla Shook Subject: Crocheting Comment: I used to crochet afghans and sell them and got BEST of Show with Ribbons and pictures in the local paper Select a Page << Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 Next >> Share your own experiences by filling in the form below... |
