Thanksgiving and Crochet

Blog Post Contents

Every year, my mom vows that this year will be her last year of having Thanksgiving at her house. She tried it one year, but her grandchildren complained so loudly that it just wasn’t Thanksgiving without going to Grandma Kingery’s house, that she hasn’t tried it since. I know my mom will continue to cook the turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, and gravy as long as she can. Of course, everyone else brings something. I think I’ve mentioned that we have a very large family, and there are usually at least fifty people off and on at her house throughout Thanksgiving Day. As for my mom, she always says, “The more the merrier.”

Sarah


Last year, Sarah (one of my many nieces and two of her sister-in-laws, I guess they are my niece-in-laws) thought they would like to learn to crochet. And, of course, I’m always ready to teach someone as I always have my trunk yarn with me, and I always have extra hooks, just in case. Before two hours were up, all of them had learned to crochet, and two of them had decided that they were going to make hats. So I showed them how to crochet in the round and increase. The other one was content to crochet back and forth for a while longer. I’ll make sure I ask them this year if they are still crocheting, I can hardly wait. Everyone have a great Thanksgiving and be safe.

Your niece is beautiful! Look at that gorgeous hair!!

So are the girls still crocheting? I love the way you so generously spread the wonderful world of crochet wherever you go.

And your mother is a saint for hostessing a dinner for 50 people, no matter how much help she has!!!!!!!! Bless her heart - my feet, my back, and my dishpan hands ache for her (my dishwasher bit the dust and I thought I'd die doing dishes for only 7 of us!)

Our Thanksgiving was blessed and happy; I hope yours was, too.

I am smiling, thinking of your "trunk yarn", Tamara. I'll bet those gals crocheted quite a bit during the last year. And hey ~ ask Sarah if she'd share 1/4 of her hair with me. (Looks like she has more than enough, and I could use some extra. LOL)

RJ & Kat,

I love teaching anyone that wants to learn. I will be writing about my Thanksgiving this weekend. And yes my Sarah has beautiful hair and lots of it too. Thanks for commenting I do appreciate it.


Happy Crocheting! Tamara
