I am 64, Born in England but came to America in 1976. I am married with 3 sons, 6 grand-daughters and 1 grand-son. I think I was born crafting, can not remember a time I wasn't making something. I learned to knit from my mother, I was also taught knitting and sewing in school. Taught myself to crochet with the finest crochet hook and still enjoy doing that fine work only drawback, I crochet like I knit (yarn is in the right hand for me) but it still works out. Have always loved to sew and never really got much of a chance to make pretty things for my children (they were boys) but have surely made-up for it with the grand-daughters. Have now added quilting to my repertoire. I've always wanted to teaching knitting too and this year I have had the opportunity to do just that with some of the ladies at church, and they are doing so well. Even at this age and with all the kids out of the house (oops, sorry, one has just returned) there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day for the things I want to do. I was just saying the otherday, I wouldn't mind being stranded on a desert island with all my crafting things, just let me do my thing. Love the Craftsy site.
