Knitters and Crocheters Celebrate Mom

This Mother’s Day, I encourage all knitters, crocheters, embroiderers, seamstresses, and crafters to recognize the teacher in their mothers.


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!
