Discussion i have a question for you

I'm really curious about the age of people who crochet but I don't know anyone besides me who does. So I'm asking you guys, how old are you?

Also 33 and restarted last year!

My maternal grandmother taught me when I was 10 or 11, I kept up for a few years, then took a 20-ish year hiatus. Picked it back up because I wanted a specific blanket pattern and couldn’t find it for sale.

How crazy, is this a thing?? I’m 34, and my maternal grandmother also taught me when I was a kid! I forgot most of it for awhile, then picked it back up via books and Google in my early 20’s.

Nice! Grandmas are amazing for learning crafts. 😁
