Crochet lessons

Haley wanted to take crochet lessons so our friend Adam came over 2 times a week for 2 months. She started a scarf but half way through decided that she wanted to do a hat. Haley would crochet during her lesson but then not pick it up until Adam came back over.

Finally Adam got tired of her lack of progress and said that he was not going to come back until she did some serious work on her own. This was just what she needed to hear. She finally became determined to finish it.

Several times I found her crocheting and reading at the same time.

The closer she got to finishing the harder she worked and finally (3 weeks later), she finished it. She could not wait to call Adam to come see.

Clearly Lucy's thrilled to model it.


As soon as she finished the yellow hat she wanted to start another one with thicker yarn and she finished her 2nd hat in 2 days!


She has already started her 3rd hat!

Way to go Haley! Brig got into the "Knifty Knitter" last year and knitted a few beanie hats. It's lots of fun for the kids. But Haley's look professional--good job! Natalie

Haley, Great job! Will you please come over and teach Larkin and I how to crochet? We have been dying to learn and no one wants to teach us!

Such a quick learner! Do you ever need a hat like that in CA? They sure are cute!
