All of the best times of my youth were spent with my Grandma Peg and Papa Ed. They were my hero’s, not because they did something outstanding in the history of the world, but because with them I was in a safe and educational place.
I do think our hands know what to do (especially with spinning ) when we stop overthinking it! I struggled with knitting until I Read Elizabeth Zimmerman's Book: Knitting without Tears.
My grandmother crocheted and was also a seamstress. My mom sews, but never had the patience to learn crochet. I’m not sure who might have been into what as the family has been estranged for a long time, but I do know most were farm folk. I’m hedging my bets that a lot of my desire for handiwork (and livestock) is in the blood. Somewhere.
