Crochet Decorative Tray

[@karenshields395]

Happy to find you. My mother taught me to knit and my grandmother taught me to crochet when I was quite young. Knitting occupied my time as a young. Mother. I loved to knit socks, blankets, sweaters, scarves, and anything I found a pattern for. As I grew older, I rediscovered crochet. I am 82 currently, and really enjoying you tube and the plethora of tutorials. I recently finished a long hexagram cardigan with full gathered sleeves and a hood. I so love you generous young makers who share your knowledge with us. I have a tremor in my hands and I find that crocheting helps me manage it. I think of my mother, grandmother, and all my knitting and crocheting friends through the years. I find creators and teachers are such lovely people. They always have each others back. Thank you for being there for me to enjoy spending my time with and finding new things to crochet.

@karenshields395 Hi! I'm happy you found me too. I loved reading about your story. I'm so glad you have crochet to help you and keep you happy. I started really learning about 5 years ago. I have an adrenal illness that has kept me mostly bed kind the last 13 years. When I started feeling a little better, I took up crochet and acclimated quickly. So now I try to do videos when I can to help others learn like I did. My mom taught me a few basic stitches when I was young but then I didn't pick it back up until now. I agree, this is a great community and I'm happy you're here too. Thank you so much for sharing, you've made my night 🥰 I hope you will enjoy some of my other videos as well ❤️

@@creationsmisfit So sorry you have illness in your life. I know from experience. I have diabetes and too many other diagnoses for one person. I also share year round allergies as you do. Growing old sure has its limitations. I found your video library and had to stop watching in order to get some sleep. It’s an impressive collection which I will enjoy as I am crocheting my Christmas presents this year. I wish a fulfilling life for you, just as mine has been in spite of my health issues. I was a psychiatric nurse for 25 years, which I loved, but had to retire early due to health issues. Crafts save my sanity, and I have a lovely daughter with whom I live. Again I wish the best for you. Friend? Karen

@karenshields395 Friend, yes! We share in the same attitude of making life worth loving despite setbacks. Thank you so much for the sweet words and for sharing your experiences. Many good days ahead for us both! I never thought crochet would be so fulfilling or bring so many wonderful people into my life. Wishing you a beautiful day, my friend 🥰
