Please share the tissues. At age 10 I lived with my grandparents for a few weeks. My grandmother did crochet. She tried to teach me and I did learn a few stitches but it was much more fun to play on the playground across the street. She could look at a pattern printed in the newspaper and make it using a magnifying glass to see the pattern better. She died just a few days after we went home. As an adult my childish decision (to play first) is one of my bigest regrets. I do have many of her doillies etc., my childs apron and some doll things she made for me but I still wish I had learned more!
