My friend Sue loves to crochet. She would sit for hours while watching the house and all her kids commanding them from the couch as she continued her craft. She had a bag beside her and anytime she sat down out would come the needles and hooks and tiny baby sweaters, bonnets and booties would flow from her fingers.

One time she entered her work in the local fair and won first place with her work so she was talented. One summer her nephew came to visit and becoming bored he asked her to teach him and then for awhile there were two of them on the couch working away with the yarn flowing and the hooks flashing.

The art or craft of crochet uses a large hooked needle to interlace yarn or thread to make useful items like blankets, baby outfits, mittens and much more.

Some of the more popular patterns are flowers. The most popular is the rose in bloom. The Irish rose is also a hit and looks really nice on an outfit or afghan.

My guess is that it will be a potholder. However it also could be the beginnings of a rug. There are so many possibilities.

The first known use of crochet was in a book about Lady Elizabeth Grant who lived between 1797 to 1830. I don’t know if she invested this craft or was taught it but anyway the hobby became really popular and by the 1940’s it was mainstream.

This photo (not shown here) shows a friend hard at work making something, probably for a baby. She loved kids and was always crafting a outfit or booties for them.

She never married but loved kids so much that she adopted six of them. Most of them had special needs. She also had a foster home that she ran with a friend for several years to support her family. Unfortunately she died this year (2014) from cancer and left quite a void in people’s lives, especially her kids. The kids were mostly grown up with the youngest one seventeen years old. You can read Sue's memorial that tells of her life at the link under her photo.

However her favorite hobby was crocheting and I can still remember her sitting on the couch with her supplies making another great item. She even won first place at the local fair with her craft, so she was very talented.
