I’ve been crocheting for decades. My Mum was a crocheter and her mother before her. I took it up aged 16 when I was recovering from having my tonsils removed.
I also knit but prefer crochet to be honest. I have taught lots of people to crochet including elderly people and also for Adult Ed.
I lost my Mum at Christmas and I completely lost my Crojo in the months before she died and it is only in the last few weeks that I have got back into it again. I was thrilled when, during lockdown my adult niece took it up and she is totally addicted now, having never shown any interest in any type of craft.
She taught herself by watching videos …. I think her favourite was Bella Coco on Youtube and she rings me if she gets stuck.
I have attended Jane Crowfoot (or Janie Crowe as she now calls herself) workshops and I love Helen Shrimpton’s patterns and several other designers.
