Of the many things I can do, crochet is not one of them. I tried but came up short. Luckily for me, Janice can crochet and so with her generous offer to help out, ten doilies were recently completed and posted to Lisa S as part of her 1,000 doilies project. Thank-you Lisa S for extending an open invitation to those who might like to help. I enjoyed trying to figure out if I could do it. I enjoyed being part of a team of helpers as I awaited the arrival of materials. Thank-you Elaine for trying to help me to crochet and for taking crochet classes to see if you could crochet. And upon discovering that it was not for you, for asking everyone you knew if they could crochet. It was very sweet of you and thorough. I guess when you can knit like this, your skill set is pretty much full. Thank-you Janice for revisiting the art of fine crochet. Without your time, skill, attention to detail, and generosity I would not have been able to send ten beautiful rings back by post.
This post is to say thank-you. And to remind myself that it is good to try new things, even if they don't pan out as expected or hoped.
To those who can crochet, knit, sew, weave, and embroider, I am in awe of you.
