My mom taught me in high school and I did a few partial blankets. It's been years since I've tried.

My mother taught me and I crocheted a blanket when I was a child. Now most of my crochet work is finishing edges of knitted projects.

I've done a few scarves. It is quicker than knitting. But it makes my hands ache. I would think it would be easier with just the one hook but it's so hard for me. I learned by watching youtube videos that Lion Brand yarn had done.

My mama taught me. My son uses the granny square afghan that I made when I was 13....35 years ago. It's his fave! It's holding up well!

I learned to crochet about 2 years ago from a nun at church. I'd always wanted to learn and saw a blurb in the church bulletin. I showed up not knowing how to crochet at all. I love doing it and usually make scarves and hats. I made a unicorn hat for my dd's 8th birthday.

My mm tries to teach me every time I visit and hen I go home and forget and have to try again the next time I visit which is only twice a year because of distance. Been working on the same scarf for four years!!!

I can't say that I know how to crochet but I started this winter and I made a hat for my granddaughter. I learned by watching lots of YouTube videos. It was really fun making it and it turned out really good. I want to sew some crochet flowers to it but I need to learn to make them first.

My Grandma taught me years ago but I never kept up with it and would have to re-learn.

Nope. Never learned. I think my hubby would not be pleased if I picked up another hobby. Scrapping is enough for me.

I learned to crochet when I was pretty young. When I was older, I used to make afghans. I don't crochet anymore, I prefer cross-stitch.
