It is really hard to say if it would be hard to learn. Some people pick it up quickly, and others never quite get the hang of it. It was easy for me. My mother crocheted so I learned from her in spite of the fact that she was right handed and I am left handed. My things are just done in reverse. I also can follow written directions and diagrams well, so learned many stitches from a "Learn to Crochet" book. The same for knitting, which I learned mostly by the book. My mother did not knit but I had an aunt who did, and when I couldn't get something I could ask her.<br /><br />My dad actually did a little crocheting, but without a hook. He would make a loop and pull the yarn through the loop and keep making a chain. That is all I remember though.Loritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570346408282598440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783524717041507354.post-66065029378381454062013-01-13T16:31:46.782-06:002013-01-13T16:31:46.782-06:00For me it is December since both of my parents die...For me it is December since both of my parents died in December.

I enjoy Dec with all the Christams stuff out and and they pretty Christmas lights on homes. I read somewhere there is a small town out west that has asked everyone who had christmas lights on their homes to leave them on thru Feb. What a great idea!! IF we are going to have to live thru dark winters in Iowa and Indiana I am all for leaving the Christmas light on thru Feb!! It would make me smile!! <br />I wish we lived closer!! I would LOVE to learn to crochet. I need a hobby for sure!! Is it really hard to learn? I think there is a knitting store here in Ft Wayne that offers classes. How long does it take to catch on to crotcheing? <br />I hope to hear back from you and so relieved to know your doing ok!!! :) <br /><br />Mary jane mj in indianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168923368890833315noreply@blogger.com
