my Lithuanian grandma taught me to crochet but i haven't tried that in probably 30 years! it is very soothing and your eyes don't have to be as good. i may need to go back to that in a few years!

My grandmother was a wonderful crochet and knit artisan and I could not have cared less when I was a kid. I ended up teaching myself when I became old enough to appreciate her designs, since she was already gone. My loss. I taught my son, at his request, how to do a chain stitch so of course, he made a whip...sigh...boys...

The thing I love about crochet is that once you have worked on the pattern for a few days, you can count the stitches by touch. I like to crochet in the evenings while sitting outdoors, or watching TV. I am about 3/4 of the way finished with this afghan, which means if I really bust ass, it will be on our bed in time for cold weather.

I crochet well. I taught myself how while pregnant with the crawler. I know how to knit but I prefer crochet because it works up faster. The toddler loves anything I make for him, especially hats or slippers, and will wear something new I make until I forcibly have to remove it when it's too dirty. Both kids have a couple of blankets too. Hubby wants a blanket but I haven't finished the huge blanket for him yet.
