My grandson, who just turned 9, asked me to teach him how to crochet. I was so surprised!
I gave him ball of yarn and a crochet hook, and he’s slowly getting the hang of it!

I actually just taught my cousin’s husband how to crochet and he loves it! He is a fast learner too!

My 3 brothers will when they have the chance. They knit and sew too. My family for the most part doesn’t assign gender roles, which I love. It definitely helps during long car rides.

Good for you, thesimplicity.
Though I think you’re classified as a man at 26. I’m 25 and I don’t call myself a girl. lol

I am a man who crochets! Or a boy who crochets, I guess, since I’m only 26.

There’s nothing more rewarding that taking what amounts to a long length of string and turning it into a garment that can keep you warm in the winter. It’s borderline magical. I need some new socks? I’ll just MAKE them. It’s empowering, like when our forefathers used to go out into the woods with an ax and somehow end up with a house. Mind blowing.

I want to teach my fiancee to crochet so he can help me churn out amigurumi during the convention season. But he’s too busy playing guitar to sit down and learn…

My two brothers and I were stuck in the backseat of a Plymouth for 2 days as we drove from Texas to Tennessee one summer when we were kids. I was probably 11 and had just learned to crochet. My brothers picked up hooks and learned to chain/single crochet to help pass the time. It was funny to see them awkwardly try to handle the yarn and the hook. Once we got home from vacation, they were too embarrassed to say that they had ever learned to crochet. I teased them in front of their friends every chance I had! I totally forgot about that! Thanks for jogging my memory!
