Proud Mommy Show & Tell!

[Crochet Buffet]

After learning to crochet only a week ago, my son has created this:

He finished the scarf on Saturday (no pattern) and the hat on Sunday, using this pattern (http://www.angelfire.com/wv/happyghan/twinstitch.html). :clap:clap:clap:clap

He's now working on a pair of gloves! :eek

After he's done w/ the gloves, he's planning to make a scarf, hat and mittens for each of his sisters.

He said he's even got some of his classmates interested in 'the ways of the hook!' :rofl

How awesome is that! Not only is he new to crochet but he's actually making things! Way too cool! You should be proud of him and HE should be proud of himself. I've taught kids to crochet and they never finish the first thing much less make sets!!! WTG!!! :clap

That is great :clap .

It is always good to see the boys doing it also. Here is an article about a class in our town, where they are all crocheting and loving it.

I am showing it to you, as the picture has boys in it.

Barbara

[Swayde]

Congratulations...hope your letting your son see how impressed we all are with him :hug


How'd you get him interested in crocheting? I can barely even get my son to look at the stuff I am making, much less get him interested in learning :P

[Brie]

That's wonderful!

My 5 year old wants to learn to crochet. I've been trying to teach her, but I haven't gotten past the chain yet. She's got a bad case of "I couldn't do it on the first try, so I'm just going to give up" going on.

[Captain Hook]

Well, we know someone who has the #1 Mom of the moment in the bag. I can't believe you got your preteen (?) son into crochet. Woman, you are brilliant.

[vatonc1]

Awesome! You BOTH should be congratulated! :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap What a totally cool mom you are for sharing this with your son... I plan to "hook" :hook both of my kids when they get a little older!

Horray for you both :cheer :cheer :cheer :cheer

[Crochet Buffet]

Congratulations...hope your letting your son see how impressed we all are with him :hug


How'd you get him interested in crocheting? I can barely even get my son to look at the stuff I am making, much less get him interested in learning :P

Well, honestly, it kinda started as a punishment.
Dealing w/ this age has me :bang:rant:thair:bang:cry.
I tried to get creative w/ some discipline... he said he wanted to knit, not crochet (only cuz I can't knit ;) )
and I said, well, as punishment, you're going to learn to crochet.

I didn't have to do anything but show him the chain. That's all I wanted him to do, really!
Then he asked about sc, and then dc... and then, a project!

[Julie]

Wow Jackie! That's so cool! :clap He did a great job!!

[Kymberlina]

Way to go, Turner!!:cheer And way to go mom!

The hat a scarf look great! You are wise "in the ways of the hook" :nworthy

[Cordelia]

Can I send my two over to your place for punishment? lol

Fab job Turner u so rock, u got skills!!!!:cheer

WTG Mom for being proud!! And patient to teach!:clap

[Rachel]

Too cool! You did great work, Turner...and Mom, I wish learning to crochet had been punishment in MY house!!:clap

[cinfulkarmah]

[Kimberly]

Awesome job Turner! You're doing great!

Jackie - you have a wonderful son there - even if it was for punishment to begin, it is so cool that he is sticking with it and progressing so rapidly! The thought of doing gloves....:eek

[kazily]

Wow what a great job Turner! How nice to make some sets for your sisters. You can also sell some to your friends if they don't want to learn & you can make some spending money! Great job Mom on teaching ds to crochet & create!

[JesseCat]
