Ahhh... Sunday. My absolute without question favorite day of the week. Today is especially special because my friend Shelly returns from a week long cruise. I have been almost lost without her. Even though we live many states apart, we are never further then a phone call away. Thank you Lord for unlimited long distance calling.
The answer to my Saturday riddle was of course a "SQUARE"
Today I guess I'll just ask a simple question...
"Who taught you to knit/crochet and how old were you?"
Yesterday was a BLAST. I brought Adam to another birthday party, and we had so much fun. Outside playing all day. I got a ton of pictures. I will try to make a slide show and post it on the blog later this week, I am so blessed having such an awesome grandson. I just can't remember life without him.
That said it's nearing 1am here and I better get to bed ot I might sleep through church tomorrow, and I sure don't want to do that.
Count your blessings today, there are so many of them aren't there?

A friend started to teach me how to knit... and it didn't go well! So I went and bought a "teach yourself how to knit" book... Voila!! I know how to knit! Thanks to helpful people on the internet and lots of research, I think I've done pretty well!! I learned/self-taught in 2003! A few years down... many more to come!! :) Have a great sunday!
I was yaught in home econmics in high school but everyone knows how long that lasted I also made a crochet afgan in my twenties I did not pick up any needles until last year when I noticed a lady where I worked knitting ,so I started asking questions ,she told me to bring my needles and yarn to their knitting group,she taught me a little more before she passed.I will always remember her her with lots of love,and the rest I am learning online with the cals/kals,I finally bought myself a knitting book that really comes in handy I love to create things or try to a it is feeling of accomplisment when I finish another item I normally give away everything I make.I have no idea why. OK enough of a book lol
oops I meant taught
My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was a little girl of 7 or 8 making potholders from #10 crochet cotton. She also taught me to read directions. I think of her every time I pick up my crochet hook.
I think it was my grandmother who taught me how to knit - either her or my mother. When I was seven years old.

We (the whole class) were "taught" to knit in school at age 7. That afternoon, I came home to show my mother (a fabulous knitter) what I could do. Thank you mother, for jumping in and showing me the "right" (better and easier) way to do things. My sister (taught by my mother from the beginning!) and I have a "remembrance" ritual of being together on Mother's Day, sitting in her kitchen and knitting. Getting misty-eyed here ..
Heyyyyyyyyyyyy I'm Baaaaaaaack! I missed ya! That 7.99/min was killing me!
My grandma taught me to knit before I was 10....and my neighbor helped straighten me out when I got in trouble as we lived 6 hrs from grandma....and knitting I learned from the same neighbor and the lovely learn how to knit book!
My mother taught me how to crochet when I was 9 years old, That was over 30 years ago....I think she finely got the hint when on more than one occasion I would try it myself, and make a total mess of her yarn.....
I taught myself to knit and crochet...
ooopppsss...sent an incomplete comment. I would like to finish up saying that my MIL helped me tweak my knitting but the crochet was all self taught. I taught a few other people though
I taught and learn myself when i was young my grandmother knitted slippers and needlepoint so i love it and was smitten..so i decided to teach my self thru library books which i guess today im a librarian lol hugs kat
Hi Kathy, I'm still with you!
When I was a kid, my grandmother, who lived with us,
did not have the patience to teach me, so I watched
her and learned how to make no more than a chain, so I
had hundreds of feet of thread chain all over the
house (one, long, continuous length!). Her main
excuse was that I am left-handed.
Well, I finally bought a book a few years ago (I am
now 60), and I crochet right-handed!
I had a great-grandmother who knitted, but she
wouldn't teach me. My father was adopted so I didn't
really "count!" (I always envy those women who got
taught by grandmothers and moms when they were kids).
Anyway, as for knitting, I was at Michaels one day and
saw a sign for a beginner knitting class. I had
always wanted to learn to knit, so I signed up and
learned the basics from a really terrific male
teacher. Well, I can't do fancy stuff (no DPNs, no
socks or sweaters, etc.), and can barely read a simple
cloth pattern (knit or crochet) but I love do do both
anyway! Of course, I absolutely adore yarn shops and
the Wal-Mart yarn section, too!
Take care and have a wonderful Sunday,
Pamala out here in Shadow Hills, SoCal, at Dogs'
