This is my daughter, Eva, swirling around in the poncho that she crocheted all by herself! She’s nine years old.
She learned to finger crochet several years ago, and made miles of chain stitch. In 2003, I finally convinced her to crochet with a hook. Her technique got a big boost last year, when her wonderful third grade teacher set up a crochet learning station for the kids in her class. All the kids learned to crochet.
Eva has crocheted lots of scarves and other bits and pieces. This is the first big project she has finished. Hurray! I am very proud of her. What a Fabulous Young Crocheter!
