do you have friends that crochet, or is it a personal thing?

[Carla J]

I mostly crochet alone while on the 'vlle. I told my DH if he can be addicted to YouTube, I can be addicted to the 'ville.

 

My DH used to crochet before his health got worse (MS). So, I have lots of UFO's from him to finish. But I can still get him to look at the neat show and tell's here.

 

I used to crochet and craft with my late MIL. I do miss her. There are a few ladies at church that crochet, but our craft night was cancelled due to not enough people coming.

 

Some of the ladies at my old job crochet. And I have taught a few, but sadly they have moved on. And my mom and cousins live in CA and are too far away to share with. Such a bummer!

 

Thank you 'ville for having connections with others that share my addiction!

Nope, not really. One can, but she can't read a pattern or anything. She just knows how to.

I only know my MIL who crochets. And she absolutely hates the fact that I learned. I got the idea from her while I was pregnant, and bed ridden, and I tought myself online. None of my friends, or anyone I know does it, and IF I EVER bring it up to my MIL she wont talk to me for months, thus I went in search of someone to share my love, and I found the ville. and now I can talk all I want about yarn and hooks, and patterns, and afghans.....and no one ever tells me to shut up

 

at least not yet................

 

Wow, some strange attitude, I would've thought all crocheters love to talk about it. I guess she's jealous and doesn't like not being the only one who can whip it out anymore...

No friends that crochet. My sister does, but that's all. But here in cyberspace there are bunches of us! Thank goodness! Beth

Although I can see why, it's a pity people see needlework as old-fashioned, however, they cannot see the advantages of doing it. But don't you let that ever keep you from it, afterall, not everything is for everybody, right?

[Tigerle]

yes, that is my opinion, too.

It's a Personal Thing...

I am the only one in my group of friends that can do any kind of craft work. I crochet, sew a little, a little embrodery, and different small projects here and there. I do not knit but wish I knew how to. At the local college there is a biology professor that started a knitting group for the students. She has taught many of the students how to knit and the students have kept up their skill. The students say that it gives them a much needed break from homework. Unfortunately, this teacher accepted another job at another school out of the state so I never got to learn from her and I regret it.

I have a few acquaintances that do some crocheting, but I am pretty much on my own.

before teaching one of my best friends to crochet about 1 1/2 years ago, no... BUT she lives in Florida and I am in NY so we only get together and hook when she visits lol... because her kids are grown she has much more flexibilty than I so flies up here to visit... used to be 4-5 times a year but I've only seen her for 3 weeks this year in late June early July... she won't be back up til after the 1st of the year because she has a G-baby due in October... I've taught 2 of my kids a little but they don't want to stitch with me lol... I do have a few acquaintences that I see at the dance studio (I am there A LOT because DD competes) but they knit while I crochet... I started to teach some of the girls DD dances with and 2 of the teens have learned form me...

[mom232]

I have 1 friend and 1 acquaintance.

I belong to a group called the "Yarn Yarn Sisterhood" that meets twice a month. I have enjoyed going, but most of the members are knitters and have no desire to learn to crochet. I like to knit, but I to crochet. That's why I came here. I would really enjoy having someone to sit and crochet with me.
