I'm a late bloomer. My grandmother could do anything with a needle- knitting, smocking, tatting, just ANYTHING, but I was a lefty and just couldn't catch on by watching her back then. What helped me learn to crochet was a book that had printed diagrams for Lefties-so helpful! There's been a revival of knitting the last few years and there are so many neat projects now. I took a beginner's knitting class last year which got me started there. Now I'm on a sock making kick! TY Ciarra! I’m a late bloomer.

I've always wanted to learn how to knit and crochet. It would be awesome to make my own blankets, sweaters, scarves, and hats. Every time I've tried to learn from the beginning I get a few stiches in on a test piece that ends up being about 6 by 10 inches in size, and then I quit. I don't know why. I think it's because it's hard to find the time after working all day, housework, marriage, etc. But someday, when I'm semi retired or a housewife, I'd like to learn. Wow, you are so talented!
