Name: Amanda
Subject: Crochet!
Comment: I have been an Australian crochet nut for two years now - ever since I was taught by a workmate when I was looking for something to help pass the time whilst on watch. This year I was talked in to entering some shows - and I am flabbergasted to have won the novice section at the Canberra Royal and a highly commended in the Sydney Royal today.
The pattern I used for the Canberra Royal was one I learnt from here and modified just slightly!
May crochet live forever!!!



Name: Jennifer
Subject: avid crocheter
Comment: I see that crochet has really never lost its popularity. As a little girl I always watched my grandmother and loved all the things she made for. She is her late 80's and doesn't crochet as much as she once did. I always let her know that I appreciate that she took the time to teach me. I have a daughter who I give mini lessons to whenever she shows an interest in a project. I love to crochet and do such a variety of projects. I can't imagine what I would do with out such a creative hobby. This site is so great. I get inspired by patterns and it is so much fun to put your own twist on a pattern. Before you know it there are times when you realize you have created your own pattern.



Name: Debi
Subject: Afgans
Comment: I learned to crochet Years ago but only finished one afgan .But Im almost 45 and started again and I made 5 full size afgans from Sept. until christmas and I just love it I have just started a new one I love to crochet now.



Name: Luthien (again)
Subject: !!!!!!!
Comment: I noticed the two homeschooled Hannahs in this section who say they love to crochet. I'd like to add another. :) My cousin Hannah just turned 14, she's homeschooled, and she loves to crochet too. I just thought that was neat :)



Name: Luthien (Rebecca)
Subject: Afghans
Comment: Hi y'all! I'm 16 and I've been crocheting for probably eight years now. I made my Aunt Georgia, who died of cancer last month, a blue and pink afghan for her birthday, just a few weeks before she passed away. She was so grateful that I made her that; she really appreciated it. I am so glad I was able to be a blessing to her, and I just wanted to encourage all the young crocheters (and older ones too!) to make things for elderly relatives and friends. They will appreciate it. I'm glad I got to do it for my aunt.



Name: Mary Ellen
Subject: Pineapples!
Comment: I taught myself to crochet when I was 18 years old. I made a few doilies but became frustrated trying to crochet pineapples. So I stopped crocheting. This past summer, at the age of 52, I took up crocheting again. I challenged myself to do pineapples. All of a sudden they are really easy to do and loads of fun! I can't seem to crochet enough pineapple doilies, tablecloths, afghans, etc! I do other patterns, but pineapples are the best! Your site has lots of neat patterns. Thank you!



Name: Summer
Subject: It Doesn't Make Sense!
Comment: Sometimes I come to particular part in a pattern that just doesn't make sense at all. It's not symmetrical, doesn't fit with the other part...whatever. When that happens, just follow the pattern directions EXACTLY and usually it will work in the end. If not, improvise! It's your piece and you can do as you please with it.



Name: Tee
Subject: taking the time to do ur project
Comment: hey yall i started a baby blanket for my cousin almost a week ago. I would most of the time take it with me to school so i could pass the time doing it and most of my teachers didnt mind me doing it. i think that crocheting keeps me from getting bored in class and pass out! ;-) (some of them wants me to make something for them)



Name: Larry
Subject: 4-Month project
Comment: I started Crocheting for a project I had to do for school. I didn't like it at first, but when i finished i loved it so i hope i can do much harder projects instead of granny stitch.



Name: Maria
Subject: crochet
Comment: i always wanted to crochet but never had the time to learn. I am now 55 years old and went into the interned and printed instructions on how to. Took some time and lots of patience and now I cannot put it down. I have crocheted wonderful things!



Name: Mary
Subject: crochet is cool
Comment: I learned to knit and crochet when I was a girl, but as an adult I got busy with other things. I took crochet up again about three years ago because some of my coworkers were into it. Now my MIL is hooked too. I like the variety that crochet offers. It is such a cool craft, and so easy to make things for family, friends, and charity.
