How did you start your knitting or crochetting experience?

Ladies!

I decided, that we should also chat here, not just sharing the patterns.

This post I'd like to devote to my knitting experience and how I've come to it. I'd like to read your stories in the comments, so, please, support my idea.

When I was about 12, I saw my granny crochetting very nice flowered blanket. I knew, that she loved to knit and crochet, but before this I'd never paid any attention. But when I saw how easily and professionally her hands move, and flowers appeared from the threads of yarn, I wanted to do the same. I asked her to show me how she made such beautiful flowers, and she showed. She didn't say, that they were too difficult for me and I should start with more simple patterns, no. She showed me how to crochet this flower. I was so thankful, that helped me to believe in myself. Of course, I couldn't make them from the first attempt, but finally I got it! She was so proud of me. Thank you, grandma!

I shared with you some part of me and my life and will be very pleased to read your stories.

P.S. It's not my photo, just an illustration with a girl.
