Here are my 10 Tips for Crocheters and Knitters:
Crocheting and knitting are two of my favorite pastimes. I really enjoy spending my time in a comfy chair with my yarn and hook (or needles). So many people ask me to give them some tips for becoming great crocheters or knitters. Here is some advise/ tips that I would like to share with you. They might be different from what you’ve heard before but as many might know I feel that if you’re not having fun you’re not doing it right. Fiber arts for me is about being able to express my creativity in a positive way. It’s about enjoying myself regardless of what others may think. I have been crocheting for over 40 years. When I was a young woman in my early 20’s people would always make the dumb commends such as, “Why do you crochet? Isn’t that for grandmas?” Well, I didn’t care I kept going. Now I can say that yes I am a grandma and I am still crocheting and knitting. Although I must confess that neither crochet or knitting are my strongest craft..can you guess what it is? Well.. It’ sewing and quilting. I can really rock a sewing machine. (Without meaning to sound vain of course). My mother taught me to sew when I was just 6 years old and those times sewing together with my mother are some of the happiest memories of my childhood. Thank you mother for taking time to allow me to enjoy my creativity.
Ok, onto the tips. They are not in order of important I just had to write them down.
