I taught myself to crochet several months ago. I still can't read a pattern, and wish that I could find a class for such a thing, but I'm pleased that with a little determination and perseverance I've been able to create some really cute things.
Moral of the story? Press on! It's never too late to learn a new skill. You can find these items in my shop.
I. AM. IMPRESSED. I learned to crochet when I was 11 and I STILL cannot follow a pattern. Your purses are beautiful. Good job and way to go for not giving up.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! I can't believe you made those without a pattern!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on your purses. I Hope all is going good with you :)God Bless you
ReplyDeleteWow Tracy, what cute crocheted bags!
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed!
Who needs a pattern when you can create beautiful things like that?!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGood for you!! Keep it up!
I am so impressed with your purses. I've always wanted to know how to crochet.
ReplyDeleteWhat an encouragement! I really want to learn to knit, but wish I had a *human* teacher rather than just a book. I may just try my hand at it alone, now...
ReplyDeleteOh my, how cute are those?! And that yellow is my favorite color. :0) I'm so glad you persevered, the bags are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

WOW!--They're both fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. (o:
I'm with Gena! That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI taught myself how to knit... but I've tried to learn to crochet for years and can't seem to get it. I always feel like I need another needle - ha!
I love your bags! GREAT JOB!
IMPRESSIVE!!!! Also, I really need to remember the moral of this story too!!!! I guess it is something I already know, but tend to ignore/forget. After all, doesn't the Bible say that with God ALL things are possible!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW.THOSE are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteCrocheting is so much fun!
Great job. I am truly impressed and you should be very pleased with yourself!!!

ReplyDeleteTracy ~ They turned out darling! You did a great job. What wonderful inspiration (to not give up) for your children!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are great. Good job making the purses. I wish I could crochet purses.
ReplyDeleteI've only attempted pot holders and dish clothes.
Wow what an awesome job! I had a teacher that gave up on me too when I was about 11. I can't read a pattern either. But you have done an awesome job you inspire! The bags are great! Blessings,Sherry
