    My nanny taught me. I was 5. She crocheted into her 90s. Doilies were a big thing back in the “olden days”. My grandma made all her grands blankets. We had capes and ponchos and hats. I saved ALL OF THEM! I gave each of my nieces, SIL, sited and daughter something from nanny. And I kept one thing for myself. I put each in a big sturdy gift box with a note about nanny, so they can keep it safe and dust free.

    It was my dear Granny that taught me, I was about 5. She was quite strict, but I loved to learn. I am now 75, I had 6 boys and not one crochets, alas. But my grandaughter who is 12 is learning. Grannies are so very special, thank you for introducing us to yours. Kind regards from London

    This is one of the most precious videos I've ever seen. Your grandmother is a pure blessing. Thank you for sharing her with us. I loved listening to her. I want you to know that you are so blessed to have a grandmother who loves you and shared her talent of crochet with you. (Not everyone has a Gram like that!) Your interaction with her is so sweet. I like the idea of patterns, but you do have to watch out for copyright, etc. Congratulations on your journey to a Master's degree. That is awesome!

    My mum taught me when was 8 back in Zimbabwe (I live in England now engaged to an American 😅) she taught me knitting and crocheting. But I forgot I could do it till 2020. I’m disabled and getting my sewing machine out was exhausting so I saw a KZread video and that was that. I haven’t touched my sewing machine since 😂😂😂 but I did have 2 more strokes in 2023 but I can still crochet 😊

    This is absolutely beautiful ❤ I’ve only been crocheting for 12 years, learned the art from KZread University. When I told my oldest sister whom is now 80 years old, she told me where I actually got the desire to crochet from, my grandmother and my great grandmother crocheted and knitted! I believe this is an innate skill that is passed down in our genes.

Also if you do tutorials doing them with some of the patterns so people can see how the things look. That will sell the patterns too. Good to see you again after a long time. Love your channel ❤.

    Your Grandma is precious! As for the patterns, I'm not sure I completely understood your intentions, but unless they are your designs/patterns you can't sell some one else's work, or even give it out to the masses, there are copy right laws and you cold run into some problems. I don't want to see you get into and trouble, and if I have misunderstood, I apologize, I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes per say, I'm just trying to help. I have nothing but the best of intentions!

    My grandmother’s craft was embroidery. When I was 9, she wanted to teach me. But, her eyesight was too poor. 😢 My aunt/godmother stepped in and taught me her craft, which was crochet. I’ve now been at it for 53 years. I sincerely hope to continue until it’s been 70 years and more like your grandmother. I hope your grandmother will continue to crochet for many more years to come!
