My daughter has been begging me to learn how to crochet and knit. I told her she was barking up the wrong tree. I just don’t have it in me. I actually watched about 5 different “beginner” YouTube videos in an attempt to get Natalie started.
Epic FAIL.
I couldn’t even get the KNOT started. WHAT? Impossible.
Our friends have a daughter who is an avid knitter and we had them over yesterday to give both of us a mini-lesson. They were SO CUTE!! Of course, I spent most of the afternoon and evening with the mom. I missed the information! But my daughter kept coming out with her new creations.
I am going to look for some sort of after-school or weekend program in the neighborhood. I think it’s a wonderful skill to know, right?
I already put in my order – a scarf for the winter! I will let you know how it goes.
Do you crochet or knit? Do you have any tips?? Books? Videos? Would love any advice!
