Luvachicken Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 The mum of a child I work with at school gave me a lovely present yesterday. She had been showing me some hats and scarves she had made doing crochet. They were beautiful. I told her I wanted to learn to crochet. Later, when she picked up her child, she produced a bag and told me to hold out my hand. She placed a crochet hook, a ball of wool, some instructions and some web sites to look at in my hand. Such a lovely gift and such a lovely Mum. I just hope I can learn to make something to show her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 That was really sweet of her, some people are really nice. I was happy too as hit a pothole and shredded a tyre on my car, AA changed the tyre but had warning light on dash, garage thought the knock had damaged a sensor. Anyway they sorted it and didn't charge me which I thought was lovely espeically as they had to sort the tracking out as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Crochet is really rewarding to do, some lovely colour yarns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I agree Plum, I have fallen back in love with crocheting. I am enjoying making a scarf at the moment for DD's boyfriend for Christmas, bright orange as that is his favourite colour. He once said he hated knitted things so he has never received a knitted present from me so I hope he likes the crocheted one Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Oh he deserves a Thomas the tank jumper. Fancy being so honest with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Oh he deserves a Thomas the tank jumper. Fancy being so honest with you Yes DD told him he would live to regret saying that, so the last few Christmases everyone else has had a knitted scarf or something and he hasn't. He has said he feels left out to DD but she simply says I told you so It will be interesting to see what he thinks of my orange creation.

Cat tails Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Oh how kind! One of my colleagues asked me for a lesson in crochetting. We have parent-teacher evenings next week. Means a bit of hanging around for some. Perfect time for some crochetting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 I hope he does like the scarf purplemaniacs, after all crochet is not knitting I'm hoping to have a go once all the Christmas rush is over and I might have 5 minutes peace.
