Crafts For Kids

Crochet For Kids

I was listening to a craft podcast last week - an older episode of a regular podcast I listen to - and it was mentioned that she (not sure if it was the host or the person she was interviewing) learned to crochet when she was 5 or 6.

My next project - to teach my daughter to crochet!! She is very interested, she loved watching me. I tried to teach her and she caught on to the basics of it, but didn't get too far. Here was one of my first tries (this is just a practice peice).

This is the second practice piece I made. It's a little rough on the bottom, that's where I started. A little wiggly, loose and tight stitches. But I was just learning!

I made a washcloth from a book that my friend loaned me - but my daughter took it and last I saw, Strawberry Shortcake was warm at night. I'll grab a picture of that soon.

I've said it before, but I am SO glad my kids like being crafty! They enjoy doing crafts and often ask to do something. My daughter really wants to learn crochet, especially since I am now working on a few things and it's really in the open. It's much more portable then other crafts that we do.

I plan on making a couple of ponchos for Christmas, but that's a few months away. Maybe I'll get started next month. Nothing like pressure to get you moving quickly!
