Good morning, y'all! Happy Wednesday. I still can't believe that August is almost over. Where did summer go? Schools are back in session here, so I guess for many the summer has ended.
Welcome to another edition of Twenty-Six Lists hosted by "A Fresh Cup of Coffe." Today's topic is what I'd like to learn.
What I'd Like to Learn~
At first glance, I thought this was an easy one, but the more I thought about it the more challenging it was. When I was younger, I could have rattled off a list of 50 things now I find it hard to come up with just a few, It's funny how time changes things. How it changes your perspective on what you value.
I did have one thing pop in my head and that was crocheting. I have always wanted to learn how to, but I just have never sat down and attempted it. Years ago, while on bedrest with Michael, I started knitting a baby blanket. I never finished it because he still decided to come a month early. Then when the kids were little, a lady from church was teaching people to knit and I attended that. I learned the basic stitches. I made a few scarves for Therese but never developed the skill anymore. Therese can crochet. She taught herself by watching YouTube videos. I just need to do that.
I remember my grandmother doing granny squares when I was little. I remember her having blankets on the couch she made. I have a few other blankets my other grandmother made here. It definitely was a skill ladies from that generation learned. I know my mom knows how, but she never passed on that skill to me.
I've been wanting to learn for years and keep telling myself I will. I just need to actually do it. I've looked online. I've bought books online and the used books our library hosts a few times a year.
A to Z Crochet is one that I picked up and is easy to follow.
I have plenty of yarn already. I'd buy it when I saw colors I liked. I just have never sat down and actually taught myself. I need to make it a priority this fall.
Do you have any hobbies, you'd like to learn?
