my family's vintage crochet heirlooms

[@gd4344]

My grandma passed away last august and she passed down her crochet hooks and yarn to me. There was even some WIP I plan on finishing. It was the best gift ever and brings me peace.

[@bestbunnyhugs]

That's so sweet of you

[@amara560]

Sorry for your loss. It's very sweet that you're planning to visit the WIP.

[@gd4344]

@@amara560 thank you 💗

[@gd4344]

@@bestbunnyhugs sorry for your lost. I still have the first hat my grandma crocheted me when I was a baby. 💗💗

[@itserinb]

I’m so sorry to hear that. I feel for you 💓 I’m so happy that she was able to pass down some of her notions to you for you to use in her name. We were both left with the beautiful gift of a WIP and now we can finish the piece for them and it’ll be something that we did together with them 💓

This was such a sweet tribute to your grandmother and great grandmother! I recently inherited my 92-year-old Abuelita’s crochet hooks, needles and yarn stash. She was so happy to see that I was going to carry on her legacy. It’s so special to be entrusted with their well-loved treasures.

[@itserinb]

Yesss I’m carrying this legacy with me for the rest of my life and my children will too! 💓

[@bookishknits_]

I love the idea of diving into the vintage catalog and recreating some of the patterns together!

[@chabeli6770]

Yes to the vintage series! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@chawcolatee4565]

ahhh i'm screaming, this is insane!! this is definitely one of the coolest and wholesome videos ever, i don't have any of my late grandmother's crochet items but everyone says that i am quite similar to her so that's comforting at least

[@itserinb]

It’s the best and most genuine compliment one can receive 🥲💓

[@boxerdogsmom]

Vintage recreation idea is brilliant 👍🏻🤩💜

[@yvettepring3482]

Id like a petition to bring back everything from 1983...thats about the point the world changed ...i love watching your treasure haul...granmas bags of goodies are the best!!!

[@lovevpinkbegirly]

I love this so much! My dad found some of my great grandma’s crochet hooks. My other grandma before she passed away taught me how to crochet when I was young but I picked up again on it last year so I love how it’s passed down to me🥺

[@zarac2107]

This was so interesting to see!! I loved this video - your grandma and great-grandmas craft stuff is all so lovely 🥰!! My best friends Nan died fairly recently, and she gave me and my sister ( she can knit really well, I’m the crocheter) all of her Nan’s knitting needles which was just so lovely 🥰! Xx

[@CreationsbyOmi_]

I also got my great grandmothers crocheting stuff from her last year when I mentioned my interest in it. I was reacting the same way seeing every little piece. I also got my great grandfathers sewing kit and the packaging is so cool to see✨

[@probablycrocheting]

this is so amazing!!!! i'm always scouring my local secondhand stores for yarn and hooks etc. love the connection it gives you to family you never got to meet❤

[@itserinb]

Yes I want to start buying secondhand yarn but nowhere near me has it 🥲

[@katiebeingcreative]

My grandma passed away in October and I have some books and hooks from her. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep many of the books and yarns because of the state of her house but still grateful for what I have from her. Thank you for sharing this video!

[@itserinb]

Sorry to hear that, continue to crochet in her memory 💓

[@ynnahhh12]

im pretty sure the stuff in the sears catalog is plastic canvas work! my mom used to have a client who made dollhouses from pattern books similar to the ones in the catalog- im pretty sure its just plastic with holes in it that you put yarn through to make patterns!

[@laurathunder4388]

Hi! I think that is so cool that you have all of those crochet and knitting supplies from your grandma and great grandma. I have an afghan that my grandma crocheted with the dazzler yarn. I wish they still made that stuff. The Afghan is probably 40 years old and it's been washed and dried many times and is still in great shape. I also have some very old yarn from the 1960s and 1970s. It's amazing to see how far yarn manufacturing has come in that amount of time.

[@bri3798]

this was such a sweet video. thank you for sharing this with us. I hope my grand daughter will be geeking out over my old crochet stuff one day lmao

[@CryptidLuna]

I wish I had a grandma who crocheted or knitted because this would be awesome to personally experience!

[@itserinb]

Well now you crochet and you have something to pass down to your family 💓

[@brandibucko]

My grandma just handed a bunch of hooks and one vintage cotton skein down to me over Christmas break. Some of them even have the prices engraved into the hooks themselves. There’s one for $0.50! Half of them are regular sizes, and the rest are so small. My great, great grandmother and grandmother enjoyed making doilies and tablecloths. Some of their hooks you can’t even see the head of the hook, because they are so small. Other hooks have the “paint?” Worn off on the handles from being used so much.

[@armybratsk1535]

I started learning how to crochet last April and my mom and grandma were so excited because my great grandma also crocheted. She passed away when I was a baby so I have no memories of her but I always feel she’s close by whenever I’m crocheting or cross stitching or doing embroidery

[@itserinb]

Yes I feel like my great grandma watches me every time I crochet something 💓

Omg how lucky! I wish I could inherit my grandma's knit and crochet stuff. You look so ecstatic, I'm really happy for you

[@itserinb]

The most sentimental things I own 💓

[@crochetry1498]

That red lip looks soooo pretty on you❤️.I love that you keep switching up your content so that we see variety .My favvv🥰🥰❤️

[@itserinb]

Aww thank you!! 💓

[@GlasUndMetall]

The larger wood circular hoops can also be used for quilting. On the square frame you would use tapestry tacks and either tack in Aida fabric to embroider/x Stitch or canvas for needlepoint. Just another old needlecrafts addict 😁. I really enjoyed this Erin!

[@quinncrochet19]

Omg that pale yellow yarn 😍😍😍😍

[@NixxMel]

Aww, I get my late Grandma's yarns and needles as well. Would've loved for her to see the stuff I'm making now. She tried so hard to teach me and I couldn't catch on then one day I just learned on KZbin

[@NixxMel]

*got

[@kanakeitto6250]

This video is so wholesome

[@itserinb]

You’re so sweet thank you! 💓

[@yaycaffeine]

Those wooden wand hooks look like they'd be good for Tunisian crochet if you wanna give it a try! I think Tunisian crochet looks so cool but I haven't gotten my hands on such a long hook

[@itserinb]

I don’t think they’re long enough for anything bigger than a coaster 😅 My grandma said the wooden hooks were handcrafted by family too 💓

[@jedansepourvous]

Cette vidéo est émouvante, passionnante. Le crochet en bois est sublime ! Il vaut beaucoup d’argent, en plus de son histoire ❤

[@lizzyluna2414]

everything looks so cool! I hope you get to use most things even though they’re so manyyy

[@TheBrit1992]

This is so cool. I swear there was a pair of drum sticks mixed in with those knitting needle🤣

[@itserinb]

I’m a dunce… I’m pretty sure there are 😂😂😂

[@Dalal0690]

It would be a great idea to work on a patch work with all the yarn from your grandmother. I think it would be like your grandmother, gifted you sweater or a cardigan.

[@cathyakacrazyknittingnana]

I have some antique double pointed needles that a friend gave me. My husband has his grandmas hooks. I believe the Wintuck yarn is now Red Heart. The wooden hooks look like the Brittany hooks.

[@itserinb]

I asked my grandma about the hooks and she said my great grandmother’s brothers made them for her!! They were into woodworking 💓 That’s crazy I didn’t know wintuk is red heart!!

[@cathyakacrazyknittingnana]

@@itserinb , Oh wow about the hooks that makes them priceless. enjoy using them.

[@RinsangiZadeng]

I loved this videooo ,,just loved it😂😂😂

[@oliviahatton6726]

omg this is so cool

[@lourdestambussi6150]

I love everything❤❤

[@julypatchouli9719]

Wow, so many needles. You might want to sort by size and see how many doubles and triples and quadruples you have 😀

[@Raven_Snow]

Those Harry Potter crochet hooks were so cool!

[@mandyg4074]

THE HARRY POTTER HOOK STOP IT 😭❤️

[@creamsicle9826]

“tell me i don’t look like I’m about to swish and flick on y’all” 😭✋🏼

[@itserinb]

LEVIOSA 🥰💓

[@JacqsieRae]

Hi hun..ive been watching your videos n love them. Thought I would tell you..some of those things in the catalog you had mentioned is done using plastic canvas...n not crocheted.just thought I'd let you know

[@cheskydivision]

You can NEVER have too many crochet hooks. Those bags and boxes are on plastic canvas. That craft was popular in the 1980’s. It was a lot easier then traditional needle point.

[@yvettepring3482]

Lol i have a similar amount of needles ...

[@yvettepring3482]

And a toilet roll doll ♡

[@MLVBABA999]

omg😃😃😃

[@breemonetcrochet]

First of all love this video so much❣️ Watching it made me so emotional when you talked about how you are your great grandma reincarnated because my daughter reminds me so much of my grandma who she never got to meet. 😭 Sadly my grandma passed away before she could see me pick up the hobby but I can't wait to pass it down to my daughter 💗

[@itserinb]

Yes this is something I definitely plan of passing down to my future generations 🥲💓

[@amara560]

What a fun little video! You truly found some precious treasures. I recommend Antique Pattern Library dot org for finding vintage crochet and knitting patterns. Also you're rocking that red lip.

[@itserinb]

You are seriously so knowledgable. Thank you thank you 💓

[@dominyika]

That vintage magazine is only three years older than me....Im done lol jk

[@itserinb]

LMAO - not vintage.. CLASSIC 💓
