My great -Aunt taught me to crochet many years ago when i was about 10 or 12. Since then I have done a lot of Crocheting and Knitting. Every time I crochet I am reminded of her. I relaxes me to sit and crochet or knit.I make many afaghans and such. I love it.

[...] Go to their Facebook page to see how they’re creating a community surrounding their brand. They aren’t just racking up “Likes” for the sake of having a large number; their fans are commenting on posts and contributing to the community. In late April they asked a simple question – “What’s your favorite rainy day crochet or knit project?” – and they received over 860 responses. Similarly, their blog posts give customers the opportunity to share their experiences and points of view. A good example is when they asked which activity “makes you better,” knitting or crocheting. Browsing through the hundreds of comments, you’ll read some simple and some emotional words about what knitting or crocheting brings to a customer’s life. And those emotions are immediately getting attached to Lion Brand Yarn who gave them this forum to share. (You can check out some top responses in this later blog post. [...]

I learned from my grandmother how to crochet & knit when I was 8-9 yrs old; I would bring my projects to school and when I was finished w/my classwork, break out my project & sit quiet in class working on them. I too, took a hiatus from crocheting & knitting as a teenager – long into my 30′s… my grandmother passed away @ 92, and had made my oldest child who was a preemie, a “woobie”… a small blanket for her car seat that wouldn’t overpower her tiny little body… she said she would make a larger blanket for her “later-on”, but that was not to be… as the family was cleaning out her things, we discovered the larger woobie half finished, with many mistakes as G-mom’s mind & fingers failed with time… no one wanted to take it apart – so after a 30 yr hiatus – I remembered the stitches & completed the woobie, for my 2nd child… I’ve made several others since then & have requests from teachers & friends and police officers to make small “woobies” to carry in their patrol cars just in case of an emergency… I have since passed on the skills to my oldest child, and to my Girl Scout Troops, so that the practice will hopefully – live on….

These stories are so wonderful. They really inspire me to value my crocheting. Often, I feel ashamed because of my huge “stash” of yarn. I am not very organized with it, although I do try to keep it confined to one area of the house.
I have crocheted since about 1971 when a male friend showed me the basics and said that he enjoyed crocheting for relaxation. I will always be grateful to him. It has brought me so much pleasure over the years. I do it while watching tv or just about any other time I am “sitting”. I do
give most of it to friends, family and charity.
I am now 67 years old, and plan to crochet for as long as I am able to hold a hook ! Thanks to all who shared their stories. Many blessings to every one of you.
