A word of introduction is in order I believe ^_^ :P
Hello to all the fellow Artisans, Gamers, Fanatics & Crafters! :)
My name is Rebecca and I'm 26 year old. My love for crochet started moment I actually set foot on this planet. My granny is a crafter, my mum is a crafter and I'm one as well. When I was a child I always looked up to my Gran's work and my Mums work. Wanting to also learn the arts of crochet. Tho I never seem to like the idea of making tablecloths and cushions constantly... So it took me a while to find something that I like to make myself.
A few years ago I bought a small booklet that introduced me to Amigurumi. I took it with my to my Grans, set next to her while she was watching tv and got started. She noticed my hours of fiddling and swearing. Getting blisters all over my fingers. I'm sure many of you know what I'm talking about. So she leaned over, told me to give her my crochet hook and the wool and sat in front of me. Then she held the hook and wool like 5 centimeters from my face and said: '' Look carefully ''. She made a start in front of my eyes and explained me the tricks of increasing and single crochet. She continued '' This is how you do it''. Then she unravelled the work and handed it over to me. She said : '' Now it's your turn.'' So I took a deep breath and tried it again. It felt like every action she did was molded in my brain. She smiled and said: '' See, it's not that difficult ^_^''. That day was the day I finished my first amigurumi. It has become a memorial and sits on my workspot.
