Thank you Spring for sharing your crochet journey with us. I too learned from my mother some 40+ years ago. I am grateful she started me on my love for all things fiber arts.
I enjoyed hearing your crochet story Spring. My grandmothothers were the fiber artists in my family. I spent more time with my paternal grandmother as they lived on the farm right near us and when we were little frequently "babysat" us! She taught me embroidery, basic crochet and I watched her quilt many hours at her big quilt frame. I never wanted to quilt myself but very much appreciate the skill and talent involved in the art of it. She was an artisan! Her quilts have stood the test of time. I cherish many of them yet today. It was years later before I picked up a crochet hook in earnest and really made much. Late in high school my mom ask a church lady to teach me to knit. She was a busy mom, but taught me the basics. I've never expanded my knitting knowledge much beyond that but again, appreciate the art. I love the "look" of knit projects. I just don't have as much patience for knitting as I do crochet! Not that I'm any expert in crochet, lol! But I just feel more secure and willing to try new things with crochet! Thanks for sharing your story! It made me look back as to where and how I got started in the many different things I enjoy!
Hi Debra, what an awesome story!! You mentioned quitting ooooo my paternal grandmother had a huge quilting frame that was suspended from the living room ceiling. She would let it down one day a month and her and the ladies from church would all sit around it and work. I have done a little quilting myself but not a passion for sure. Thank you so much again for sharing 🫶🏼💚🫶🏼
Great story, Spring! I remember my mom employing my sister and me in balling up yarn (she's a big knitter). My grandmother actually taught me to crochet when I was about 9 years old. She was making a big granny square blanket, and I wanted to learn. I started out with a scarf of single and double crochets, and I have not looked back since. Like you, other interests took over for a bit, but it was always there, along with cross stitch (I did a ton of that as a teen/young adult). For years, I mostly made hats, scarves and blankets (lots and lots of afghans), but since finding fiber artists like you, I have definitely branched out and challenged myself. Thanks for all you do and share!
How awesome is that! Very cool that we had similar starting points. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. Every day is a new day to learn something new whether it be a fellow crafter and their story and how they do things for yourself just learning how to do a stitch nevertheless it’s always fun.
I am so glad I found your channel and your Friendship, I've learned alot from fiber to yarn and new tutorials! Thank you Spring, My Friend. Looking forward to your next milestone!
very down to earth story..Our parents and todays parents really have a great impact on the direction the children of today grow into ;) My father was a huge influence on my direction in life :)
Hi DOY Beautiful lady !!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! Very nice 😊 20 yrs is a good amount of time to learn all kinds of amazing things!
Thanks for sharing your story. I started crocheting at about 6 years old and knitting at about 8 years. I have never stopped although I have spent most years knitting I do dauble in crochet every now and then.
Hello Spring! Found your channel thru JTYA. Loved hearing your story. Thank you so much for sharing! I'm looking forward to seeing all of your talents! I don't recall any relatives having delved into any kind of fiber arts. I learned a bit about knitting in home ec but it wasn't that interesting for me. My 1st job out of high school was a secretary for the manager of the local newspaper. There wasn't much to do (I was reading 4 or 5 books a week!) so I was tasked to help when they got behind in proofing copy. When there was an opening, I switched (in spite of a pay cut - at least I wasn't bored to tears!) A lady in the dept brought her crocheting one day and I was fascinated. The next day she brought a skein and a hook and taught me the basics. My first project was a blanket for my newborn daughter and man was it wonky! I had no idea about tension or anything! I gradually improved and learned to read patterns and I am still hooked these MANY, MANY years later. I've made something for everyone in my family and all of my friends over the years. Now 98% of what I make is all for charity. I taught my eldest granddaughter how to crochet and she has FAR surpassed me! She creates her own items and is a whiz at amigurumi. The other granddaughter has finally taken an interest. I can't wait to see how she progresses.
😊 Hi Spring! I loved hearing about your crochet journey! I started crocheting when I was 13 a good friend of mine and I played with yarn and hooks I don't know how we ever got hold of them, that's where I started! Thank you for being an inspiration to me and others to do better, to make more! Take good care!❤
I really enjoyed your crochet story. I used to see my neighbor crocheting in front of the building, but I never paid any attention to it. Until one day I sat next to her and I was memorized by what she was doing and how peaceful she looked. One day, I knocked on her door and asked if she could explain what she was doing. At that time I was looking for a peaceful outlet while taking care of my mom, who was just diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. My neighbor was willing to teach me, but we stopped seeing each other because her daughter was pregnant with her first child. Before she left, she knocked on my door and apologized that she couldn't help because she was moving to Wisconsin to help her daughter. She gave me a ball of yarn and a hook and directed me to TH-cam. The first channel I found was Crystal from BOD, and that's how I found this community and learned how to crochet. Thanks for sharing😊
Hi Spring, I enjoyed hearing your crochet story. I've been crocheting on/off since I was a young teen. I also taught myself to knit. I would like to hear how and what started making fibers( spinning yarn). I'd love to learn how to do that.
Beautiful story and memories of your mom too 💖💖💖 I need to get in the habit of balling up my yarn first, yarn barf is a pain and a time eater for sure 🙄
