She also taught me to spin on the navajo spindle. I have since graduated to a spinning wheel - unless I'm traveling. I just downloaded your cowgirl hat and plan to crochet it with plastic bags. Not quite as romantic as seagrass but cheaper and for someone on a fixed income that is a blessing. I've survived cancer and now love to help others by spinning their hair blended with silk or wool and then knitting/crocheting the resulting fiber into hats for them to wear. Thus, they can say "I still have my hair." Thank you so much for the pattern. It helps out when funds are limited for people like you to remember usAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12293316.post-50694885025863947712008-09-25T11:50:00.000-06:002008-09-25T11:50:00.000-06:00I love your story!

I recently miscarried my first baby in March and just started crocheting again as a hobby about 2 weeks ago. I can say that it has helped me in my grieving stage of my loss. I feel that I can make booties and different things for babies and give them to their parents for their brand new bundle of joy. Thanks again. I would love to follow you on your blog.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12876328988176794120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12293316.post-54875921766616281842008-08-22T13:28:00.000-06:002008-08-22T13:28:00.000-06:00It is so wonderful to read your story about croche...It is so wonderful to read your story about crocheting. I took up knitting & crochet when I was taught by my Grandma during high school and then stopped for about 15 years... picked up a hook and haven't looked back. It's hard when you are the only one in your whole circle who crochets so all my support comes from online friends. I'm so glad to have found you! :-)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676354044872574909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12293316.post-10513361700755609872007-12-27T20:55:00.000-06:002007-12-27T20:55:00.000-06:00I love your story, Pam!

I learned in the early 70's while in college (Penn State), got really into it, making things for students, fraternities and soroities, and even a couple local boutiques.<BR/><BR/> But when I came home (Philly), I noticed a different reaction about a guy who crochets.....not a good one. So, I too, didn't tell too many people about it. if they saw something I made that I wore, I just tell them my girlfriend or Mom made it.<BR/><BR/> Years went by, and as I got older, times changed a little, and by the 90's, I decided to say, "What the hell!!!" " I've been enjoying this gift for all this time, why not be proud of it!!"<BR/><BR/> Well, you know the rest, so, thanks for sharing your story.<BR/><BR/>Ken'THAT CROCHET GUY!!'https://www.blogger.com/profile/18188708559190592892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12293316.post-1168695251893613182007-01-13T07:34:00.000-06:002007-01-13T07:34:00.000-06:00Pam,I stumbled upon your site looking for a rasta ...Pam,<BR/><BR/>I stumbled upon your site looking for a rasta tam (knit) pattern for a colleague.

I'm almost 19, and learned how to crochet from my beloved Grandma when I was 6 years old and still have my old Dark Green Boye K crochet hook. I don't use it much at all, and it's been lost a lot, but I will always treasure it. <BR/>Anyways!!
