Hand knitted and hand crochet items always impresses me. The skill and patience that goes into creating something from scratch while using yarn are things that I have never been able to find. Not to mention that the feel of yarn rubbing against my finger makes me grit my teeth until my jaws ache. Fortunately, my grandmother-in-law and my mom were very talented in that area. My mom taught Amy to knit when she was young and Mike's grandmother taught her to crochet.
Amy had a lot of time on her hands, so she began to make me crocheted dish cloths. The crocheted cloths are so superior to purchased terrycloth that I was thrilled when she made me a few dozen. Her life has become busier, so about half a skein of cotton thread was left over. Last week, I picked it up and asked Amy to remind me how to crochet. Since them I have made three dishcloths! The cotton yarn doesn't bother me like the normal sweater-type of yarn.
I will probably never crochet afghans or throw blankets, but I can keep my household supplied in my favorite type of dish cloth. Small pleasures and accomplishes brighten my day.
