In an earlier life I crocheted a LOT....until Carpal Tunnel Syndrome set in. I've made several afghans, lots of scarves, hats, Christmas ornaments and even cute little Christmas trees that you would slip down over a Styrofoam cone. For years I'd make an afghan or two every winter and give them as gifts. Wish I could still do it....maybe if I go really slow and don't do too much at a time I could actually start creating again.
Well I could get her teacher to teach us. She just focuses more on knitting, because that's what people are into at the moment. I'll learn someday.... When I have time!
I was taught to crochet by a lovely old lady when I was quite young. I never took it up though. I knitted for years, stopped, then started sewing (quilts only). I love crocheted things though!
I know how, and have made scarves, pillows, and other projects, including a green, stuffed dinosaur for my son when he was little. But I haven't done any for years.
