I have been hooked to anything what has to do with treads and needles.
So I learned crochet knitting and embroidery before I was 10 years old.
Nbody knew how to tat and I was 20 when an Indian woman teached me
tatting for 1/2 hour, that was enough to begin my first hankie with 2
threads.
In my early teens I ws enchanted with crochet and knitting - learned both of
them mostly from old and inadequate how-to directions. My mother knew a little
about crochet but that was all the other help I had.. Then in 1950 (I think)
an article on bobbin lacemaking appeared in Woman's Day
