My mum tried to convince me such a skill would come in handy as I could make all manner of crafty things for my home and I could sell some at fetes as well. I'd been to fetes and seen tables full of little crocheted thingys, most of them still unsold at the end of the day. So I refused all offers of lessons and to this day I'm glad.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-19877574720360969842008-10-21T02:02:00.000+02:002008-10-21T02:02:00.000+02:00What a darling little hat!

Awwwwww<BR/><BR/>When I was a kid I had this shop set up in my bedroom and I used to make horrible wool belts and Archie comic bookmarks and then I used to flog them to my mum's visitors.

Lovely things. I'm with Franzy here, my boy had to make a pair of shorts in year 7 and is a dab hand with a sewing machine! He still wears them as boxer shorts bless his desperate bum!

I am going to miss you so much...do you REALLY have to go? <BR/>Loved reading about your grandpa, those knitted bathers would have been a sight. <BR/>Do you know I had a red suit my mum crocheted for me? It was a three piece - pants, cardi and matching hat. I looked totally fab.Catherine@Simply Naturalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15759159516196213165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-30049000286893182002008-10-20T12:25:00.000+02:002008-10-20T12:25:00.000+02:00It's probably really bad that the main Steiner I k...It's probably really bad that the main Steiner I know is Scott Steiner, the wrestler who took so many steroids he was always knackered two minutes in...<BR/><BR/>He'd be a great teacher - I can't crochet, at all, the less said about my making career the better...<BR/><BR/>Ask me about the jewellery box sometime...Miles McClaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335102965842725449noreply@blogger.com
