I am a mother of 4, grandmother of 4, born and raised in the south. I learned to crochet at age 6. My grandmother was trying to teach a friend how to crochet she never caught on but I did, then I grew up got married had kids got divorced and all the other things like jobs, brushoff, practices and games got in the way. I did a little here and there, and then I started doing more and more crocheting just a little over a year ago, and now I have a hard time putting my hook down.
