Ha ha ... sounds like a wasted opportunity back then (but how generous of your Grandma to teach someone else!). Glad you are making up for lost time.
ReplyDeleteHa! I really wish I'd asked mine to teach me, while I still had that chance, although she did try with knitting and I was a disaster. Looks like you're doing pretty well there.
ReplyDeleteIts a great craft & by the looks of the photo you know what you're doing :)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Love the fact that your Grandma taught one of your friends, but not you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good question - do we get to discover the answer? Whatever you are creating looks good tho'.
ReplyDeleteha...what were you doing then eh!! Looks like you have mastered the art of crochet x
ReplyDeleteDaydreaming maybe??
ReplyDeleteAlways a hint of humour :) I love this meme and i really should put it on my planner to play along sometimes. Nobody taught me to crochet but i wish i did...
ReplyDeleteHaving fun I should think :) Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think you were chatting! Or having a giggle with your friend! x
ReplyDeleteYeah! You pushed me to join ;) Thank you Sian for always being so inspiring... I think my first try will actually turn into a page :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! What a great story (told succinctly). I posted two photos today - one just for you!
ReplyDeleteRinda
Haha! Love the humor :)
ReplyDeleteHa, love that! And exactly what were you doing??!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious legacy from your grandmother!
ReplyDeletelol love it, mine tried but I just didn't get it :/
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yours is the second of these posts that brought a smile to my face and a good chuckle!
ReplyDeleteGreat story and photo! Hope you are feeling a bit better now x
ReplyDeleteThat is a good question! My grandmother taught me to crochet as well.
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn to crochet so well done you!
ReplyDeleteAnd do you remember? And are you going to tell us? Lovely mini story and beautiful crochet :).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful crocheting... and what was YOU doing back then?
ReplyDeletewell done on mastering the crocheting. I'm envious, I can't get beyond Granny Squares!
ReplyDeleteHa! Yep. Exactly how I feel about wishing I'd paid closer attention to my Mum's knitting advice!
ReplyDeleteI was always too busy to learn from my mum and older sisters!
ReplyDeleteThis looks pretty impressive to me, Sian!

Haha - adorable, Sian. And I love the way you have photographed this!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's great :)
ReplyDeleteGood one!
ReplyDeleteI can crochet (sort of, as long as it's a large-ish pattern), but knitting is a mystery. Cross stitch, with adequate lighting and magnification, is my needleart of choice. Wishing you success with your crochet adventures.
What a great story in so few words!
ReplyDeleteI find it very therapeutic having recently gone to class to learn. Nanna tried to teach me back then but I didn't want to know!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just came across your blog from my friend Sinead's and its really beautiful! I'm actually just learning to crochet myself and I'm HOOKED already! (Haha!) It's soooo therapeutic! Anyway, just wanted to say hello! :)
ReplyDeleteHe he! I can knit and really want to learn to crochet. i feel i lack the patience though! Thanks for joining in Sian!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and great quotation as always Sian! I love crochet and you seem to be doing really well from the looks of that photo :D xx
