Knitting & Crochet

How many of us learned how to knit or crochet (or both!) from our mothers or grandmothers?



My grandma taught me how to cross-stitch when I was 8 years old. My very first project was a tote bag made to carry all my hoops and threads. She thought so very much of it.



I found that bag a couple of days ago. It really wasn’t very good, but I sure do think a lot of her for not saying so and thereby encouraging me to keep going.



This Mother’s Day, I encourage all knitters, crocheters, embroiderers, seamstresses, and crafters to recognize the teacher in their mothers. They were the ones who taught us so many “firsts.”



If you yourself are a mother, take this Mother’s Day to teach your daughters or sons the craft you most love. It’s most definitely a win-win situation.



Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms, moms-to-be, and to those women who are like moms to others. Thanks for all you do!
