My grandmother on my father's side ("Nanny") was the OG Crochet Queen.

 

Nanny crocheted everything from sweaters and ponchos to granny square afghans and everything in between. You name it - she could make it out of yarn.

 

Nanny taught me how to crochet when I was about 9 years old. She gave me a ball of yarn, a hook and set me up with my first granny square. I had no idea that something so simple would turn out to be one of the great loves of my life.

 

It wasn’t until many years later that I picked up my crochet hook while recovering from hip surgery. After a trip to the yarn store and a few YouTube videos, it all came back to me. Just like riding a bike. I was HOOKED [pun intended]! 

 

During the pandemic I began crocheting daily and found it to be a wonderful way to relieve anxiety. I often think about Nanny while I’m crocheting and how grateful I am to her for teaching me such a beautiful craft.
