I use to crochet a lot, but arthritis has made it difficult as well as poorer eyesight.  It isn't fun getting older!

I use to all the time.  Now that I'm retired I may take it up again.

I used to do it but I started having pain in my hands so I had to give it up. That was about 20 years ago. I would love to take it up again for I have forgotten how to do it. My mother-in-law taught me. She made dresses, shawls, and lots of doilies, not your every day plain white doilies but ones with rapes grapes, flowers, and other designs. We have a trunk full of them. Sadly, i think someone took my needles that were given to me after her death. They were in the shed and if I had to buy all the sizes today, I'd have a lot of money tied up.

Yes. I crochet afghans, baby blankets, hats, potholders, dishcloths, etc.  I don't do sweaters though.  Its a good hobby to have while watching (listening) to TV.  I taught my nieces to crochet too.

I've never done this before. I don't think I would be good at it haha. I want to learn how to sew, though.

I learned how to knit and made a vest. It was not beautiful.

I think I would like to learn to crochet some time. My cousin knows how to now so that makes it more desirable to me. Seems like a good way to kill time when you're bored.

I used to crochet in my younger days, now I don't. When the computers came along and i was on them all day long  I ended  up with carpel tunnel, so something had to give and it was the crochet, now  that my eyes are not as good as they used to be I can't read all of the fine print like I used too. Si guess I will stick with the computer and doing some fusion cash as well.  I just don't sit at it for hours now.

I crochet, but I don't have the patience for big projects.  So I do Christmas ornaments, potholders, dishcloths, mittens.

I used to crochet in my younger days but haven't done it years.  I probably forgot how to.

I used to crochet a lot years ago.  I was actually able to sell a lot of things I crocheted

Made flowered earrings etc also in crochet, Christmas ornaments, and little Christmas stocking with mathing earrings tucked inside.

As my grand-daughters got bigger, they started getting cats for pets, and nothing I crochet that I would give them would last long. They would be torn to shreds.

Have not done it in years, may start up again this winter though....when the garden isn't taking my free time. Was great fun.

I don't I wish I did - my sister-in-law does some really beautiful crochet work. Baby dresses, hats you name it.  Really beautiful stuff.  I on the other hand do not have a creative bone in my body.

[LenoraMinogue]

I think crochet work is so beautiful. I am not particularly good at it myself. But I love the talent and skill that goes into some crochet crafts.

I have crocheted for many years and really enjoy doing different projects  our library has classes for both crochet and knitting I'm thinking about trying knitting when cold weather comes back around
