A lady was sharing her knowledge of crochet at a group arts/crafts hour and she taught me. BEST teacher ever! I had tried many times before and couldn't get it.

My older sister taught me to crochet when I was a teenager. She was very patient with me and helped me tremendously. I taught myself to crochet several years after my grandma taught my sister and me to knit, and after I learned to spin my own yarn. I have since learned several types of weaving, and enjoy learning other fiber arts as an active member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, a not-for-profit international historical research and recreation organization.

My grandma taught me over 40 years ago, she is long gone, but everytime I start a new pattern I think of her.

My mother must have taught me to crochet, although it was so long ago I don't actually remember! Seems like I've always known how to crochet.

My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was 10. We used to go to her lys, Stella's, and knit and crochet with all the other ladies. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

My mom taught me to crochet many years ago. 3/18/2014 06:06:18 pm
Nice! I didn't realize how many covers you've had! I'm currently NOT subscribed, so this would be awesome...just saying...

I learned how to crochet by taking a class at Joann's. I did this because of a trip we took to Arizona from Ohio. We drove and I cannot read for more than few minutes in the car. So I thought i should learn how to crochet. I learned some basic stitches and how to go back and forth and I came home with 8 double crochet scarves in 16 days of vacation, those became Christmas presents fro several people that year. it was great. from there I went back to Joann';s to learn how to crochet in the round and from there it was go, go, go. This was about 7 years ago.

My grandma tried to teach me to crochet when I was a girl, but I was too cool to learn an old lady skill like that! But now, I wanted to know how, so a friend from church taught me how to chain and turn, and I've been teaching myself the rest ever since!

Self taught, with a little help from a coworker. Have been crocheting for a couple of years now.

Addendum! I really want to make your Buenos Aires duster in Urban Edge. Is it important to use cotton yarn? I don't love working with cotton, and wonder if I could substitute wool of a similar gauge.

As a child my great aunt (and namesake) taught me to chain which I didn't remember as an adult. As an adult my dear friend Pam (RIP) taught me some basics and the internet proved to be a gold mine for learning new techniques! 3/21/2014 07:22:02 am
My great grandmother taught me to crochet when I was seven years old. I learned how to knit in Home Economics class in junior high school.

My late mother got me started in the 1970’s, but I progressed beyond her help and interest on my own.

My mom & grandma taught me to crochet... (and knit for that matter) when I was about 7 or 8. I have put it down and picked it up a few times over the years, but I love to create things. 3/24/2014 10:33:58 am
My mother taught me the Granny Square when I was 4yrs old...and I took it from there. I followed that up with a Ripple Afghan. Then I taught myself to read patterns a few years later. Once I could read, I could crochet anything!

My stepmum taught me when I was 9. It's been a rare occasion since that I've not had multiple projects on the go. Comments are closed.
