This is proof, that you never to old to learn. A while back whilst Spring cleaning my sewing room I came across a random crochet hook. Which got me thinking. Why was it, at the age of 56 that I did not know how to crochet. Why had I not got my Mother or Mother in-law to teach me, when I could of. I decided right than and there I was going to teach myself. A few You tube tutorials later, I began, round and round I went using up every bit of wool I had lying around the house, soon after I was heading to the shops to buy balls of wool, and with that my Charlie (crochet blanket) grew, bigger and bigger. Now perfectly big enough for my double bed. Why did no one tell me, what a wonderful, end of the day, quitening your busy mind, therapeutic kind of hobbie this is, and has turned out to be. We all need a little destressing to our day....and guess what?, in the end I get to climb under something cozie. I am rather proud of my first attempt, and I think Norma and Nora would be proud of me too. 😁😁
