Many generations of the women in my family have crocheted. I still have the memory of my grandmother crocheted even as her hands were shaking. She didn't have a purpose for the crocheting; she would just make blankets like crazy so we would donate them as baby blankets to St. Vincent De Paul. Well I used to say as my mother tried to teach me that I couldn't sit still long enough for crocheting and that I'd rather read a good book (still would rather read a good book). These days I like to crochet. Even made a purse.
The one thing I hate about crocheting though is that as you are going along and everything is all peachy keen, if you start making mistakes, particularly in the early years of learning, then you have to unravel the entire thing. It sucks. Also if you want to cut off a piece here or there, you can't because then your yarn would unravel. I've started all over on one of my blankets three times now. Hope it is the charm and I won't have to start over again.
