When your local Oxfam has a few really good books on its shelves...

#bookhaul

The tagged book is for brushing up my UK crochet terminology should any of the #ReadingRetreat ladies pick up on my offer to teach them crochet.

wanderinglynn I love Calvin & Hobbes! ❤️🐅 4y
jenniferw88 Haha! Thanks for the tag, but as my hands mirror I doubt I'll be able to crochet! (Whatever one hand does, the other copies - I can't do individual actions - so if I'm stroking the 🐈 with one hand then I have an invisible 🐈 to stroke too! 🤣🤣🤣) 4y
Mitch Yes please! Teach me! 👍🏼 4y

squirrelbrain Great haul! If I come I‘d like to learn..... 4y
rockpools Ooh, yes please! I had a spell of crocheting snowflakes a few years back, but I‘ve never sussed straight lines. Which has made for several wiggly wobbly failed attempts at baby cardis and the likes. I can bring some yarn & crochet hooks if you like? 4y
Deifio I second @wanderinglynn Calvin&Hobbes are the best! 4y
julesG @Mitch @jenniferw88 @squirrelbrain @RachelO - no problem! I'll be happy to share my knowledge. I'll send info through WhatsApp 4y
Emilymdxn That‘s so exciting! Unfortunately the pain in my wrists doesn‘t make crafts possible for me very often but if my wrists have a good day I‘d love to try it out! 4y

The subject of crochet came up with some students recently and one of my girls said she wished she knew how. I told her that if she bought some yarn, I‘d teach her. A week later she came running in, “Mrs. Ross, I got my yarn!”
So today she and a friend used some of my scrap yarn and hooks and I taught them how to crochet. They said they want to have a “crochet party” every day 😂
Every day in the library is something new... #crochet

Soubhiville That‘s awesome! 5y
