You’re such a beautiful group of people who I find constantly inspiring, interesting and unwaveringly generous. Thank you to all of you! A couple of stand out mentions, GO Cindy!! I agree that you have done a terrific amount of excellent work and it is a privilege to see your certification process unfold. Almost there, enjoy checking the last bits off! Thank you Will for opening up the wooden spun gauge discussion, I’ve had the same experience and it was great to hear all the things mentioned. And Frank. I love that you shared your crochet experience and some of your history. These conversations are so important and I hope a little healing for you. With love from NZ. P.s I may have been a few of those 37k views 😉 your teaching of the travelling magic loop transformed my knitting- never ever a ladder 👏👍❤️
That was such a nice thing to say, I read the first part to the whole group in the meeting this week. th-cam.com/video/NngzsX5ZQpI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MWhOQHbMSa34riRd&t=256
I think so too! She is well on her way. Level 2, that she is now completing, is the hardest of the three levels. Level 3 is fun because you get to explore lots of different types of work, including lace, intarsia, cables, mosaic, double knitting, entrelac, and many more. I didn't even know there were so many techniques when I started the program. And it also deepens your understanding of pattern writing. I highly recommend the Master Hand Knitting certification at TKGA.org for anyone who wants to learn as much as possible about the craft.
Poor Sumner 😟 When my husband came to this country in the 60's , there were NO allowances for people who did not speak English . He has told me of the struggles. How stressful for a child. He tells the story of going through the lunch line and would just repeating what the previous student said, only to be surprised at what he was given 😀 Wonderful story about learning to Crochet with your mom ❤. Once again, growing up at a different times. I also started with Crochet , some things still call for it, made my share of doilies and graphed blankets using Tunisian , added Cross Stitch, tatting, macrame , beading , and pretty much anything with yarn , cord, or floss . Awww, Jenny's husband is a keeper, making her a ring. I saw from the title we would get news on Cindy's master hand knitting results. So glad she is sharing her journey .
As for not being able to crochet as a teenager, yes, times have changed. It would have been shameful in the South, and perhaps other places, in the 50's and early 60's for a boy to do fiber crafts. I was 35 years old before I finally decided to do some knitting and crocheting no matter what anyone thought about it. I didn't do much because my software engineering career started consuming all my time. But I came back to knitting again when I was retired and 67 years old.

Cindy seems to be a hard-working and wonderful knitter. Before she realizes it, she will be a master hand knitter!!👏👏👏
