It all clicks when you get the right teacher.

Left-handed June taught right-handed me to crochet left-handed, so now I am of no use to most folk learning, but have a grand old "kak-handed" time of my own!magsmcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278148796772565928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4670432170678038824.post-92084844684952482822017-04-03T17:31:53.651+01:002017-04-03T17:31:53.651+01:00We aim to please!We aim to please!magsmcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278148796772565928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4670432170678038824.post-5430803382846444032017-04-03T16:35:16.867+01:002017-04-03T16:35:16.867+01:00My grandmother taught me to knot when I was about ...My grandmother taught me to knot when I was about 7, aided by Miss Norah Holdforth, my fabulous teacher at Elwick Road Junior Girls School. My Uni landlady, whose sister owned the Kenilworth woolshop taught me further skills when I was in digs with her [73-73] and my late MIL taught me how to re-knit worn out cuffs. Crochet - my Girls Brigade Captain tried , and failed, in 1969. I produced a hideously knotted pair of tiny baby bootees which may have fitted a sparrow] BUT I finally cracked the hookery in Belfast when I came to Belfast in Nov 2011 and Catherine taught me. I was privileged to visit to the Hookery Group again in 2012. Thank you for sharing both skills AND friendship!!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
